Graduate Assistantships at Kean University
Each year, Kean University offers a limited number of graduate assistantships.
Providing the best education at an affordable cost to our students is paramount. Through this special program, a select number of Graduate students will have tuition and fees waived.
Assistantships draw on a variety of different skills and require a service on campus 15-20 hours each week, depending on assignment. You can download an application here.
