Tuition at Rutgers-Camden for NJ residents is $5,742 a semester; $8,536 for out of state students.

Some partial tuition scholarships are available to outstanding applicants. A limited number of graduate teaching fellowships will be awarded to MFA students. To apply for a teaching fellowship, the candidate must be admitted to the Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program at the Graduate School of Rutgers University in Camden.

To apply for a Teaching Assistantship, notify via email the MFA Director at the time of admission to the program. Complete applications must be submitted no later than March 15. Interviews take place in the spring term for appointments beginning the following fall.

Compensation and duties attached to the appointment are governed by a contract negotiated between the Rutgers University and the American Association of University Professors. They usually include the teaching of two sections of undergraduate composition per term in return for a salary of approximately $19,000 per year, plus tuition remission and full medical benefits. Teaching Assistants normally carry a two-course load of study per semester.

To be re-appointed for a second year, Teaching Assistants must be in good academic standing in the graduate program, must be making satisfactory progress toward the Master's degree, and must demonstrate effectiveness in the classroom as determined by student and faculty evaluations.
