Re:	Departmental Assistantship and Egan-Martinez Scholarship,
Academic Year 2004-2005


In the spring of each year applications are accepted for the post of
Departmental Assistant. This position provides tuition for six courses
plus a stipend to cover 20 hours of work per week during the academic
year (maximum 30 weeks over the academic year). The Departmental
Assistant first and foremost assists the department in matters of
faculty evaluation, promotion, and hiring.  As time permits, the
Departmental Assistant may work as a research assistant for faculty
members each quarter.  The nature of tasks given the assistant depends
on the needs of the individual professor.  These may include library
research, administering/grading of examinations and, perhaps, some
classroom teaching.

Applications are also accepted for the Egan-Martinez Scholarship, which
covers tuition for six courses for one year.  Applicants may apply for
either or both of these positions.  

Application Instructions:  

1.	For Current Students:  Along with a letter applying for either
or both of these awards, applicants are asked to send us two letters of
recommendation from DePaul professors with whom you have taken a course
and a history of courses taken since your admittance to the MA program
(downloadable from the web).  

2.	For Incoming Students:  Please include a letter of application
for either or both of these awards in which you discuss your skills,
achievements, and qualifications for the award(s).  Since we already
have your application and supporting materials on file, there is no need
to send duplicate copies.   


Completed applications are due to the department by May 20. Please
place your application in an envelope addressed to the History
Department Graduate Committee.  Recipients will be notified of their
award prior to the end of the quarter.
