Combining forms of funding

[lasgirl]

I was offered a Graduate Student Research Assistant position at my top choice university, which will pay full tuition and fees in addition to a very modest monthly stipend. It's a 25% employment position (10 hours a week), and from what I can tell, the university allows grad students to work up to 50% employment. While TAships are 50% and therefore unavailable to me, readerships are generally 25%. Would I be able to use the readership payment (which usually covers a portion of tuition/fees as well) to help pay for my room and board? Of course I'll be contacting the university directly, but just curious what other people may have done!

i think you can do that .. but it wont cover all the room and board fees .. you need another source of funding ..
