Assistants will participate in all activities sponsored by the NCMR, as well as a monthly meeting of the assistants to discuss their progress. Assistants will receive a stipend of $17,000 and a tuition waiver for the academic year. Assistants must register for full-time credit hours and remain students in good standing. They will have access to the NCMR’s services, including computing and data support.
