Each semester, NCFST has a limited number of Graduate Research Assistantships (GRAs) available for full-time NCFST graduate students. GRAs generally provide the student with some tuition assistance as well the research to fulfill the research and thesis requirements of their academic program.

Because these GRAs are limited in number they are highly competitive. Students interested in a GRA position should submit an application letter to the department stating their research interests and intent and include a current copy of their resume/CV.
