Graduate Student Teaching Awards (GSTA)

Note: The FGSR assumed responsibility for the 2013 GSTA competition from University Teaching Services.

The Graduate Student Teaching Awards annually recognize outstanding graduate teaching assistants in each Faculty at the University of Alberta.

Award recipients receive a certificate and letter recognizing their excellence in teaching.

The number of awards allocated to each Faculty is based on the number of hours worked by graduate student teaching assistants in each Faculty during the previous academic year.

For complete eligibility criteria, see uappol graduate student teaching award procedure.
