This assistantship may be a combination teaching and research assistantship depending on the needs of the Department and your desires. ASU compensatory stipends are paid bi-weekly. Last year the first payroll was on August 31. It is our intent to continue your assistantship for three additional years subject to satisfactory performance as judged by the faculty member responsible for the project/assignment, availability of funding and proof of satisfactory academic progress towards completion of your degree.
In addition to this assistantship offer you have been selected to receive a $12000 Fellowship for the 2008-09 academic year. This Fellowship will be applied towards your tuition/fees thru the Student Financial Aid system.

意思是这个fellowship中不用来交学费的部分要交税。那么这不用来交学费的部分当然是你自己留着了...
奖学金本来就是每年评的,你这些都可以算作第一年的费用。不过签证的时候可能要自己出财产证明了,因为VO可能假设第一年以后你拿不到相同的fellowship作者: yangtaotai 时间: 2008-4-4 21:42:13 标题: 回复 #24 rsrs 的帖子
