기본적인 것을 못찾고 헤매는 중 일지도 모르겠습니다... 어드미션을 받고도 펀딩을 이해 못해서 조언을 부탁드리고자 합니다.
현재 제안된 펀딩은 없는 상태이고, 가서 열심히 하는 모습을 보이면 RA 받을 수 있지 않을까 하여 가는 쪽으로 결정을 했습니다.
혹시 타뮤 RA펀딩에 대해 자세히 여쭤보고 싶고 .. 혹시 풀펀딩이라는 것과는 무엇이 다른가 궁금합니다. 또한 타뮤도 풀펀딩이 있는지 연구실 마다 다른지 답변듣고싶습니다..
주변에 유학정보가 없어 너무 기본적인 것을 묻게 된 점.. 죄송합니다.. ㅠㅠ
아래는 펀딩관련하여 학과에서 메일 온 것입니다.

Funding
Fellowships:
- These are offered by various offices, and have different requirements.
- Domestic only
- Application must be complete by January 1 to be considered
- Upload a copy of your CV to Engineering CAS
- The graduate admissions committee will prepare and submit your fellowship applications
- Fellowships vary in amount, from $18,000 per year to $25,000 per year.
- Fellowships come with in-state tuition, which saves an out-of-state student approximately $1,600 per semester that the fellowship is awarded.
- A few examples of this would be the Diversity Fellowship through the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies for MS with thesis and PhD applicants, and the Merit Fellowship through the College of Engineering for PhD applicants.
Research Assistantships:
- The Graduate office does not have the resources to help you find an assistantship. You must reach out to faculty and see if they have funding. Please, only reach out to faculty members that you are genuinely interested in working with. Tell them what about their research you would like to learn more about. Make it a conversation. Do not just email and ask if they have funding.
- Emailing a professor and not starting a conversation is a sure way to get your email deleted.
- This is a monthly stipend and comes with in-state tuition, which saves an out-of-state or international student approximately $1,600 per semester that the assistantship is awarded.
- If they tell you to ask the Graduate Office, read below.
Teaching Assistantships:
- Incoming domestic students may be contacted if they are offered one as part of the admission package.
- For incoming international students, we do not provide teaching assistantships. You are encouraged to look into alternative means of funding for the first semester. There will be certain ELP requirements you must meet, then you will be eligible to apply for a teaching assistantship, starting with your second semester at Texas A&M. This is departmental policy.
- This a monthly salary and comes with in-state tuition, which saves an out-of-state or international student approximately $1,600 per semester that the assistantship is awarded.
Departmental Scholarship:
- This is only available for Fall
- A competitive $1,000 scholarship with the award split between Fall and Spring. This comes with in-state tuition, which saves an out-of-state or international student approximately $1,600 per semester that the scholarship is awarded.
- All research based admits, who do not have a different source of funding, are automatically considered for the first round. There is nothing an incoming student must do to “apply” for the scholarship.
- For the first round, you will be contacted in March and April, if you are offered a scholarship. You will have 10 to 15 days to accept.
- This is only open to incoming graduate students, during this period.
- This is open to domestic and international students.
- You will not be able to switch to a non-thesis/non-research program during your time at TAMU if you receive this award.
- You may not have an RA, TA or Fellowship.
- During August, the actual application on our website will open. Offers will go out the first week of classes.
- This will be open to incoming and current graduate students
- This is still open to domestic and international students
- You must not have any other funding
- You will not be able to switch to a non-thesis option during your time at TAMU if you receive this award.
Funding is NEVER guaranteed.
