Each year, the program offers several Teaching Assistantships and Fellowships to the top applicants in each genre. These aid packages are typically 2-year agreements. Fellows do not teach in their first year; in their second year they teach two classes. TAs teach one class during their first year and three classes their second year. Although a great deal of this teaching is Academic Writing (English 101), all program-awarded aid recipients are guaranteed at least one chance to teach an undergraduate creative writing workshop or to serve as a teaching assistant in an undergraduate literature course.
