**各种奖学金简介（中英文）** (added simple description for some confused ones)**

crystal_shenUID：158842

To simplify for those who do not want to read the whole long long story below about financial aid:

for chinese student, there could be three kinds of aids:
(1) Fellowship: hard to get, you will get a big amount of money, but do not need to do any work, neither teaching or researching~
(2) TA: it is decided by the Dept, they will consider native student and PhD candidate first. and usually, you need to help with the graduate students to do their lab, help prof to grade the homework. And will get pay every month.
(3) RA: it is decided by single prof, he or she need some student working in the researching lab. and this is also some kinda working, you will get pay every month.
AND, along with any of above, there always comes tuition wave.

What is half scholarship and full scholarship?
according to the amount of moeny.
that's it.
so simple.
if the money you get every year is around $18,000-30,000, which could cover all the fees and will support you, that is called FULL scholarship.
if the money only could support half of your living, like $7,000-10,000, that's half~~
We also could hear some thing like 1/4 or 3/4 scholarship, that is similar to what I said above. Just define it by the amount of money~
BTW: it is chinese way to decribe fanancial aids~

To apply for them:
some uinv provide form, some don't. if not, you could just mention it in your application.

The Teaching Assistantship:
What Is It, and How Does It Work?

So you're researching grad school, and like a lot of your peers, you're not sure how to pay for it. In the course of your research, you've heard the phrase "teaching assistantship" tossed around--you might even remember TAs from your undergraduate days--but what is it really like on the teaching side of the classroom? And what can a teaching assistantship do for you?

"Basically, being a teaching assistant means I have to teach a 101-level class every quarter and go to a weekly advisor check-in with other new TAs," says Carrie Graf, a first-year master's student in English Literature at Western Washington University. "We also attend a Teaching Methods class our first quarter. In return, I get my tuition waived, a monthly stipend--nothing extravagant, but it's enough to live on--and health insurance. Some schools offer other perks like free parking; mine's not one of them."

While a parking spot would be nice, getting your graduate degree (and healthcare and rent) without forking over any cash is a pretty sweet deal. In addition, you're scoring university-level teaching experience, which plumps up your resume for almost any field.

Not all assistantships are born equal, however. At New York University, an assistantship in the MBA Finance program requires "an average of ten hours of work per week for fifteen weeks and pays a scholarship grant of $3,600." That's a decent wage, but considering the two-year program will cost you a little over $32,000 per year, an assistantship there might not take as big a bite out of your bills as you'd like.

If you're not keen on teaching, keep in mind that there are assistantships for research too-good news for you happy-lab-rat types! And then there are fellowships; while the terms "assistantship" and "fellowship" are often used synonymously, in many cases, a fellowship is the same creature you knew in undergrad studies as a scholarship. One type of fellowship might offer no-strings-attached financial aid to students working on their dissertation, for example, and require nothing in return but the continuation of your program. Another might very well be tied to teaching or research obligations, like an assistantship--so find out what you're getting into before you sign on.

If you're interested in a teaching assistantship, here are three basic steps to take.

1. Research
"Definitely check the funding situation of schools you're considering," says Graf. "Ask how many assistantships they have. Some schools don't have any. I thought a big school like the University of Washington would have a lot of TAs, but I was told they only give them to about a third of the students admitted to my program. Western Washington is a smaller school, but this year they granted assistantships to a large percentage of people admitted--fourteen or fifteen out of twenty--and it includes a full tuition waiver."

Be sure to ask what your role and responsibilities as a TA would be. At some schools, assistants are just that; they grade papers or oversee quiz sessions. At others, a TA might be expected to teach two classes per term. While first-year TAs generally receive the springboard of a basic, structured curriculum and syllabus, you're still going to spend a lot of time on lesson plans, background reading, grading tests, and meeting with students--which can be overwhelming when you're trying to keep up with studies of your own. Assistantships can also create income-tax situations you'll want to plan for; be sure to get the full specs on what an assistantship means at your school before you commit.

2. Apply
Most schools include an application form for assistantships in their general grad school application packet. Many assistantships require a letter of recommendation and/or short essay--separate from those required for the grad-school application itself--that explain your qualifications, what subject you want to teach, and why a life in academia is for you. Having volunteer experience as an instructor or tutor of some kind can be helpful here, as can real-life, workforce experience in your field of study and, of course, great references.

3. Decide
A teaching assistantship may be a great way to gain experience and save money, but it's not for everyone. Is it more important to you to avoid racking up an unholy sum in student loans, or to attend a specific college that may not offer much aid? Are you excited (or at least willing) to stand in front of a class of jittery freshman to earn your keep, or would the pressures of teaching detract from your own coursework? Only you can make that decision--so go into it with as much information as you can!

Grad School University Aid—And How to Get It


This article is an excerpt from Paying for Grad School Without Going Broke  by Peter Diffley and Joseph Russo


The biggest source of financial aid for grad school comes from the university that you are applying to and the faculty who work there. The more they want you, the more of their resources they will offer you. Here, we detail some of the types of offers that you may receive: a few dollars may be just for showing up, a few you may have to work for, and a few you may have to pay back.

  

****Tuition Scholarships and Waivers****
You do not have to pay back scholarship money, and most of the time you don't have to work for it either. If the scholarship has no service requirement, it is not considered taxable income. Therefore, it should not appear on W-2 or 1099 forms, and you do not have to report it on your annual 1040. Nor do you have to report it when applying for loans or state aid. Obviously, however, you can't claim the tuition bill covered by the scholarship as an educational expense, either. Occasionally, some bureaucrat will try to add your scholarship as income. If that happens, you should then demand that the tuition bill be added as an expense. Then the two wash, and everyone is happy. If work is required for your tuition scholarship or waiver, the money may be considered taxable income. Be sure that you have in writing what work-if any-you need to do for scholarship money.

Generally, tuition scholarships are Monopoly money-good for internal transactions only. In other words, if you get a $15,000 scholarship but decide to take only $10,000 worth of courses, you cannot collect $5,000 to pay the rent, even if it's campus housing.  

Sometimes, state schools find it easier not to bill someone than to find scholarship money because state legislatures are very tight with tax dollars-hence the invention of tuition waivers. You are simply not billed for the courses taken, or the additional out-of-state tuition charge may be waived. Sometimes partial tuition scholarships are called fellowships. You receive a cash award that is promptly subtracted from your tuition bill. Basically, don't expect there to be money left over to pay the electric bill.

****Stipends****
There are two major ways in which you earn a student stipend: by teaching for a department or by doing research for a faculty member. The percentage of students who receive stipends and the amount paid to each vary depending on intended degree and field, enrollment status (full- or part-time), and years of enrollment. A small number of students may get a stipend just for showing up (i.e., recipients of fellowship holders).

In return for nine months of career-related work, you will be paid a stipend to cover your living and otherwise uncovered educational expenses. A stipend may be associated with a title: full-time graduate assistant, half-time teaching assistant, etc. You'll want to confirm the number of hours you are expected to work and for how many dollars per semester.

A stipend is supposed to allow students the time to devote their full attention to their studies instead of having to flip burgers to pay the rent. If, however, you are married with children and trying to get a master's in art history in downtown Boston, for example, survival on a stipend alone is unlikely. So be sure to check into the cost of living within the school's locale for you and your dependents. If there is a gap between stipend and fiscal reality, ask the director of graduate studies what students often do to make ends meet and how many hours a week they usually need to do it.

You also need to know how many academic years you are guaranteed a stipend, assuming satisfactory academic progress. Of course, your next question should be: What is the average time it takes students in your discipline to earn a degree? There may be a gap in funding between the two, and you need to ask the director of graduate studies how students support themselves after the assistantship runs out.

The career-related work associated with the stipend should add luster to your curriculum vitae. Less experienced teaching assistants will supervise course laboratories, grade examinations, give guest lectures in class, run tutorials, or lead discussion sections. More senior graduate assistants may actually design their own courses and give all of the lectures.

The amount of stipend money that you receive will vary among schools, among departments within a school, and even among students within the department. This academic fact of life extends to faculty contracts as well. It is more important for you to determine if the stipend is enough to keep you out of significant debt in the short run than to wonder why your next-door neighbor is making more money than you are.

Your stipend amount may also be independent of the amount of time you put in. On average, graduate students put in about 16 hours a week toward TA duties, but this varies from a low of 14 hours (in the classroom) for humanities students to an average of 20 hours per week (in the three- to four-hour teaching labs) for scientists.

The stipend is taxable income (federal, state, county, and city), and if you are classified as an employee, you may also lose part of your paycheck to that guy FICA. It is important to know how much of your earnings will disappear before you get your paycheck.

Be forewarned that you may be expected to pay school fees, supplies, and books out of your stipend, as well as tuition. And don't forget to factor in medical insurance and health center fees along with parking, technology, and general student activity fees. Then there are the normal living expenses of room, board, and transportation. There won't be much left over for entertainment, but take solace in the fact that your classmates won't have time or money for high times, either!

So, how do you get a teaching assistantship? You answer "yes" to the question on your application that reads, "Do you wish to be considered for financial aid?" If the department has the money, it will offer assistantships to its best applicants.

****Research Assistants****
Research assistants receive a stipend for doing research for a faculty member. The amount of the funding varies depending upon the discipline. The source of your stipend as a research assistant may be a government grant or the university coffers. But it's all legal tender. Grants require frequent renewal to keep the money flowing, so this route may appear risky. But university RA money is not guaranteed, either.

Generally, in social sciences and humanities, you will be helping faculty members directly with their research. The more you pay attention, get involved, and ask questions, the more you will learn about the research process. The methods that you learn will come in handy when you approach your own dissertation.

In science and engineering, on the other hand, your dissertation research will most often contribute data to the overall research goals of your graduate advisor. In other words, you will be paid as a research assistant to do your own dissertation. The downside is that you may find yourself on a data assembly line, in which it will be difficult to get involved with the planning and publication ends of the research. In order to avoid becoming a lab technician instead of a researcher, you will need to assert yourself and get involved with the generation of ideas, the planning of experiments, and the writing of grant proposals and journal articles.

Sounds good! Where do I sign up? In general, the faculty members who get the research grants hand out the research assistantships. Therefore, if the faculty member happens to be your graduate advisor, you will be first in line. Even if your advisor doesn't have any research dollars, another faculty member may. Sometimes, researchers have extra work or special needs (e.g., translations, Web work, statistical analysis, etc.). Such piecework will probably not support you completely, but it will be a nice, career-enhancing supplement to your income.

In general, research assistantships pay more than teaching assistantships. This is no doubt due to the fact that new students in science and engineering are given the teaching responsibilities, while the more advanced students are awarded research assistantships. Both have their advantages. The TA gives you teaching experience; the RA gives you research experience. The best of all possible graduate student worlds will involve both.

****Fellowships****
Receiving a fellowship is an honor. Every academic department, however, will have a different definition of what a fellowship actually is. Do not assume anything. In fact, ask the following questions at will: How many years does this fellowship last? What happens after it expires? Is the stipend for a full year or just nine months? Is a full-tuition scholarship included? Does the tuition scholarship include summer courses? What fees and benefits, especially health insurance and on-campus parking, are covered? What work do you have to perform for the fellowship and for how long? Does a research allowance come with the fellowship? A research allowance that can be used to purchase equipment (e.g., a computer) and books or travel to professional meetings is an increasingly popular recruiting perk. It pays for many hidden professional development costs, but it is not considered income, so Uncle Sam does not get a chunk of it. The research allowance is not a common feature for most university fellowships, but it may be available with certain federal fellowships (like the NSF Graduate Fellowships, Javits Fellowships, and others).

The best fellowships will last for three to five years and include a 12-month stipend. You'll probably find that there's more stipend money and less work than what a TA is required to perform. But don't be surprised if TAs, especially on unionized campuses, get more benefits, health insurance, parking, special book rates, and office space than fellows. Subtract their benefits from your fellowship stipend to determine if they get the better deal.

****Professional Development****
Graduate school is all about getting a job after graduation. And for research positions (academic or industrial), it is the research you produce in school that is one of your most important credentials. Your research record includes presentations of your results at professional meetings and journal publications. It costs money to travel to and participate in professional meetings. Journal articles have page charges. Who pays for this? If your graduate advisor has grant support, he or she may foot the bill. Otherwise, you will have to look to your department, the academic dean, the university research office, or the graduate school. There may also be outside sources of support.

资助研究生教育


概要

留学研究生明显地比同等的留学学士生有更多的机会获得财政上的资助。资助的种类包括有：
补助金(grants)，研究生奖学金(fellowships)，奖学金(scholarships)，贷款(loans)，实习
计划(internships)，助理金(assistantships)及住宿津贴(residencies)。现存有各式繁多的
赞助机构，如学院及大学，私营基金，企业及政府机关。这页将会讨论：
1哪里研究生可寻求帮助
2资助资料的来源
3补助金及奖学金
4贷款
5工作



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

资助的来源


本国

留学研究生应该首先向他们自己本土的政府寻求财政支援。一般来说这些援助会要求学生於完成学业後回国。另外亦有一些本土的私营机构会提供到美国留学的支援。在少数给予留学生的私人奖学金中，大部份都要求学生在本土申请。如学生已身在美国，他们便未必合资格，所以他们应在赴美前寻求财政援助。



美国大学

想入读美国大学研究课程的留学研究生，应联络一些他们感兴趣的研究院。他们应该向该研究院，有关的单位及大学的经济支援处询问有关留学生财政支援的详情。

大部份由学校提供予留美研究生的支援都是以教学助理金及研究助理金的形式。这些助理金多数是以学术成绩为殷选准则，而非财政上的需要。研究院也会发研究生奖学金，用直接发补助津贴的形式，予那些它们最希望能够吸引入读的学生。有些学校会提供学费津贴，而有些除此之外亦会提供住宿津贴。


有些美国研究院与在海外有联系的大学有直接的交换生计划。这些交流计划一般都包括予交换生的经济援助。想寻找这些计划，学生得询问他们自己的大学。


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

资助资料的来源


有很多刊物会详列现有给留美研究生的奖学金资料。

一个有可能的资助资料来源就是美国出版的外语报帐。有些财政资助的来源?会在这些外语的报张上刊登。如果在报张上找不到有关的列表，学生可以尝试联络该报纸的编辑，看看他/她会否知道其他的可能性，如某社区的成员可能愿意赞助他们的教育。

研究院有时候会在该研究院入学概览册子中刊登支援的来源，及有些会提供独立刊物。其中一个例子就是《研究生补助金指引》(Graduate Guide to Grants) ，由哈佛文理研究院所发行。

学生亦可获取资助资料，透过阅读一些计划的公布，年终报告或直接与赞助单位联络。



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

补助金及奖学金



研究院经常都会有补助金及奖学金等支援予留学生。研究生的经济援助与学士生的不同之处，在於研究生的有时候是以成绩为本；就是说，某些研究院学系有时候会给补助金予那些它们有兴趣吸引加入计划的学生。每个科目的所给予的支援都很不同。科学博士生的研究计划就会额外取得更多的补助金，如：比较音乐学。专业训练学校则甚少提供补助金，专业学位的学生应该准备要借一笔可观的贷款。


这个以成绩为本的援助许多时候都以研究生奖学金的形式发出，而可能附有研究生的服务项目作为附加条件(如作教学助理或研究助理)。这些奖项大部份由学院颁发，而许多都是专设给博士生的。建议学生们感兴趣的学府的学系或研究院办事处，看看它有没有以成绩为本的资助奖项，而如果有的话，那麽它会用什麽程序去颁发这些奖金。



除了研究院本身，另外现存还有少数的补助金及奖学金予留学研究生，但要寻到它们就需要不断努力的搜索。以下是几项可能性：


国际扶轮社(Rotary International)的扶轮基金(The Rotary Foundation)提供补助金予大学生及教师 ，作为世界性的亲善大使。扶轮基金亦赞助商家及专业人士的国际交流，及提供补助金去改善世界各地的生活质素。

美国女大学生教育基金会(The American Association of University Women Education
Foundation)提供研究生奖学金予拥有学士学位而非美国公民或非美国永久居民的女性。国际研究生奖学金支援研究生写博士论文及拥有博士学位的学者在美国进行研究工作。完成课程後，奖学金得主必须返回祖国从事专业行业；申请者若能证明有一个实在的职位正在等待他们，将会获得优先考虑。

国际教育协会(IIE)管理傅尔布莱特计划(Fulbright program)及操控二百六十个以上的国际教育计划。虽然国际教育协会协助美国部门有关傅尔布莱特法案基金的行政工作，但留学生却不能直接向国际教育协会申请傅尔布莱特研究生奖学金。每年傅尔布莱特奖学金颁发予约四千七百个学生，来自一百三十个国家。
      


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

贷款



美国政府提供的贷款是留学生不适用的。很少美国大学团体会提供贷款予留学研究生，因团体要负上还款予政府的风险。如适用的，这些贷款多是留作特殊情况或紧急事故。有少部份美国银行会提供贷款给留学研究生，如果这贷款单有一位背景良好的美国公民或永久居民的签署担保。另外，不同种类的签证上亦可能会有很多限制(例如F-1或J-1)。

      


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

工作



第一年的留学生可以在校园里找一份与他们学习计划有关的工作。完成了第一年的学习後，学生便有资格在校园内外工作。留学研究生可能有资格获得研究生助理金。以下便是助理金的一些例子，以及其他就业机会，有兴趣的学生应与研究院的院长办事处联络。



研究生助理

大部份的研究生支援都是以研究生助理的形式进行。研究生助理最少包括两项资助：薪金及学费减免或全免。



在大部份的例子中，学生都会获发薪酬。就是说，有时候学校会付一张全学期总金额的支票予学生，有时候会隔几个月或几星期付。此外，一般都会有学费减免或全免。每所院校的做法差别很大，甚至学系与学系之间也很不同。有些省院校提供平等的国内或国外的学费奖项。私立院校或会完全将学费补助与研究助理职位完全分开。在大部份的例子中研究生助理金要求得主去实践与学术有关的项目，但非必定要有所突破贡献。



助理金比研究生奖学金有更多好处，而学生不应误以为获得免费金钱，即直接的奖学金，是永远较好的。除非学生们已是教授研究队中的一份子(即研究助理)，不然他们不能以此途径入读该学系。在作研究助理中所获取的经验及人际接触，在最後可以比任何金额的奖金来得更珍贵。这对於主修科学或工程的学生尤其真确。



研究生教学助理

大部份拥有大型学士生计划的大学都会聘请研究生教学助理(TA’s)。学生们如果继续进修读学士课程时所修的科目 —如文科或理科—有很大的机会得到教学助理的职位。但是，他们通常要表现出优秀的英语会话能力。



这个职位可能要参予讲学，批改功课，评分，辅导学生及指挥实验室小组。一般标准的教学助理是属于半职的职位，即每星期必须工作二十小时。一般来说这样一个教学助理都会有一些额外补贴，而大部份的补贴都是学费减免或全免及医疗保险。注意，当教学助理的薪金是要付入息税。



教学助理金提供卓越的教学经验以及经济援助。职位的获取是依据学生的学术条件及学系本身的可用资金。有兴趣当教学助理的学生应该联络负责招聘的部门。一般的学士生是不获考虑直至他们被研究院取录。



研究生研究助理

跟教学助理情况一样，研究助理提供优秀的学术训练及实际经验和经济援助。研究助理会获得经济援助，以帮助学院研究作为回馈。而额外的好处就是学生多数是做一些与他们所修学科有关的研究，尤其是若他们被自己学系的教授或顾问所聘请。



研究助理(RA’s)多数都是由教授们申请到的研究基金所支付。研究助理金与研究生奖学金只有少许不同：
作研究助理的学生可能有较少的论文题目选择，及须更依赖他们的顾问老师。此外，研究助理的学生如果他们的工作偏离了整个研究计划的设计，或如果研究基金不获续批，会有失去助理金的危险。



有些研究助理是被大学捐款或被政府的发展学院基金所资助的。另外的一些研究助理的研究基金是直接自己向大学申请得到的。与教学助理的情况一样，研究助理一般是要每星期工作四十小时。而些进行自己论文题目研究的研究助理，多数较少留意他们被预定的工作时限，他们一般都会工作长些时间以在限期前把计划完成。



聘约一般来说是一个学术年度制。很少一年级研究生会获得此职位，因为提供经济援助的机构一般都抗拒将它们的金钱给予没经验且还未有机会在研究院表现自己能力的研究生。有兴趣做研究助理的学生应与他们隶属的学系联络，表示自己对某范筹研究有兴趣。



研究生行政助理

有些现有机构助理金可能是在研究院的管辖范围以外。有时候被称为研究生行政助理或研究生职员，这些学生执行行政工作及支援服务。一般来说工作都与他们特别一方面的兴趣有关，所以，举例说，主修教育的会参与制作视听材料，电脑科学家会为大学编写电脑程式，音乐系的学生会协助儿童音乐入门课程，主修体育的会筹备篮球宿营等。这些职位多数要求每星期工作十至二十小时。



很多研究生助理招聘都会作选择性地或甚至没有向外公布。能够有适当的人选去填补这些职位多是机缘巧合。在缺乏有经验的应徵者的情况下，有些职位可能会悬空，或由较逊色的学士生去担任。



与教学及研究助理的情况一样，研究生助理被设定要每星期工作四十小时，及很多都会获得学费资助或学费减免，甚至有津贴或薪金。当助理变成全职的时候，可能会衍生一些问题。那些不在自己学系里工作的研究生助理，很多时候都会被视为雇员，但事实上他们都是学生。上司往往会忘记学生本身已有的一定的课程压力，而容许或鼓励学生做许多工作。



宿舍助理

宿舍助理在学生宿舍中协助舍监，而很多时候都要在黄昏及周末时随传随到，以确保舍堂生活顺畅。对於有住宿提供的大学，提供研究生予各种各样的助理职位是很平常的做法，包括宿舍舍监这个位置。除了基本津贴，其他经济支援也可能会提供，如免费住宿及膳食。



实习计划

在校外实习变成了许多研究生计划的其中一环。在一个实地监督及一个校内顾问的共同指引下，这些计划提供实习经验。学生可能要担当於作为计划一部份的独立调查工作，及递交报告和他们的经验检讨。一般来说实习生会直接获合作的机构发报酬；而大学一般就会给予学分。



实习计划已被专业计划采用了很长的时间，以给予研究生财政上的支援及实际工作经验。越来越多训练正在与大学外的公共及私营机构磋商实习计划的联办，作为一个扩阔学生经验、提供研究资源及索取经济援助的来源。



实习计划的另外一个好处，在某些情况中，为研究生获得长期聘约开道。但是，留学生必须注意他们的特别签证类别的限制。不是每所学校都提供实习计划，而有些则不会给予实习经验学分。请弄清楚研究院对实习计划的政策。



综合教育

这个计划融合了工作经验及学术课程。学生可透过做与他们的教育及行业有关的全职或兼职的工作，去赚得学分。在这情况下，学生要为这个受学系监督、综合教育经验的学分课程而支付学费。但同时，该学生亦是一个受薪的雇员。薪金的数目每处不同，就好像这个计划的行政亦是每个学系不同的。有运用此综合教育给研究生的学府通常都在它们的职业介绍处安排一个位置给予综合教育。



其他的就业机会

除了以上介绍的职位外，很多学府都会提供校内就业机会。校内的学生就业处会协助学生取得校内及校外的工作。



职业介绍服务

就全日制的学生来说，校外工作也是一个赚取外快的媒介。很多学府中的学生就业处或财政援助处都提供一个校外工作机会资料的服务。这些计划特别对留学生有帮助，尤其对那些联邦政府的工作及学习计划中不合资格，但需要工作去维持生计的学生有帮助。




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

总结



找出给留学生研究课程的资助来源需时费劲。但是，现在还有很大范围的资助机会，当学生去探索和综合如，一个资助套餐，包括有些研究生奖学金，有些工作及可能有一个现成的补助金计划可以提供足够的资源给留美研究生去完成他们的学习课程。学生一定要好好计划，彻底地搜集有可能的资助来源，和小心地作财政预算，让自己有足够的资助去完成学位课程。

通常，我们申请的是助教TA(teaching assistantship)和RA(research assistantship)
几率就不好讲了，总之竞争比较激烈，努力突显自己啦

TA系里决定，对口语要求高，最好考个TSE，有些学校也可以接受IELTS来证明口语水平
RA教授决定，对GPA要求比较高

恩

wanglip234234UID：2108610

斑竹说我们通常申请的是TA和RA，那么获得全奖是怎么回事呢？
谢谢！

crystal_shenUID：158842

就是TA或RA覆盖了全部的学费，生活费，恩，其实就是全部费用

或者说，不用交学费，每个月还会发1000-1500左右，暑期3个月基本是平时的两倍多钱
