The International Student Work Opportunity Program (ISWOP) helps international graduate students who are experiencing financial challenges receive an assistantship position in departments that otherwise would not be able to fully fund an assistantship.
For an ISWOP award, ISSS provides up to half the salary and benefits for a graduate assistantship appointment, and the employing department funds the remaining amount. Funds will be transferred directly to the department by the end of the fiscal year that the ISWOP was awarded.
Receiving an ISWOP award may limit your eligibility to receive other types of ISSS funding.
Applicants are encouraged to submit their applications at least two weeks before the start of the semester, if possible.
The International Student Work Opportunity Program is not open for the current academic year.
