How Much GSIs are Paid
Page updated December 17, 2007
The typical GSI at U-M has a 50% appointment, working between 16.5 and 20 hours per week during the eight-month academic year and earning a salary, health and dental benefits for themselves and their dependents, and a full tuition grant. The median half-time GSI salary for eight months in 2007-08 is $15,199. That equals at least $21.92 per hour and is the equivalent of a full-time annual salary of $45,597. In addition, the tuition grant ranges from $8950 to over $41,700, depending upon the enrollment status of the student and his or her area of study.
