How to apply to the UTA Program
You apply to be an undergraduate teaching assistant for a particular
semester. Due to the nature of the VIGRE grant, you must be a US
Citizen or Permanent Resident to participate in the UTA Program.
(If you are neither a US Citizen nor a Permanent Resident, there may
be another scholarship, fellowship, teaching assistantship, or
research assistantship opportunities available to you. Please consult
the Math Center for
current opportunities.) You must also be a math major at the University
to be accepted into the UTA program.
