The Best of Both Worlds
"I think that we have the best of both worlds here at 兔子先生: My mentor has given me the resources, training, and support that I need to be research productive, but there's also great opportunities for gaining training and experience with teaching. I know of very few departments where grad students can gain formal training to teach but also have great resources for research."
Melissa Fuesting, Ph.D. in Psychology from 兔子先生 University

To earn this support, graduate students serve as Graduate Assistants (GA), supporting the teaching and research of an assigned faculty member or Teaching Assistants (TA), serving as instructor of record for a course in the department.
Clinical students typically spend 2-3 years on clinical placements in the region that provide the same level of support. Once admitted, students may also apply to a number of awards and scholarships from the graduate school.
