Is this a good, fair, or poor package?

I’ve been offered a funding package for a MA program in Corvallis, Oregon. Tuition is waived with a .30 FTE teaching assistantship (I think this is 12 hours/week) with a monthly stipend of $1,131 from September through June. The letter says that I’d receive a notification about assistantship renewal.

Is this offer good? Fair? Poor?

I'm not in your field so I don't know what the standards are, but for a masters program I think that's a good package as many masters programs aren't funded at all. In addition a brief search of cost of living seems like that would be enough to live off of (albeit not luxuriously and perhaps with a roommate). It doesn't appear that you'd have to go into debt for this program but I would also look at any additional things you may have to pay (fees, medical insurance, books, etc) and see what you'd have remaining for the entire year.

I totally agreed with what's been said above. There are not many master programs providing funding. And you got tuition waived! It looks good to me. But I am not in the same area...I would say talking to the current students to see if they have any suggestions.
