5天前，我收到TTU的Koh Family Scholarship委员会的一个邮件，说是我可以拿这个奖学金。邮件如下：
The Koh Family Engineering Scholarship Committee is pleased to offer you a scholarship of $20,000 per year for full-time graduate study in Industrial Engineering at Texas Tech University beginning fall, 2012.  We expect the scholarship to be renewed annually for up to three additional years provided that you maintain a grade point average of at least 3.5 each semester during full-time study at Texas Tech University.

Half of the annual amount of this scholarship award will be paid in the fall semester and the other half in the spring semester, with tuition deducted automatically each semester.  Please note that the total amount of the scholarship described in this offer is in addition to any other scholarships you may receive from Texas Tech University.

Please let us know as early as possible whether you are interested in accepting this scholarship offer and no later than March 31, 2012.  Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this award.  I look forward to meeting you on TTU campus in the fall.


现在我几个疑问，还望大家能够帮我解释下。
1、Half of the annual amount of this scholarship award will be paid in the fall semester and the other half in the spring semester, with tuition deducted automatically each semester.
前半句没疑问，后半句他到底说的意思是，每学期的学费自动被免除啊？还是说学费自动从这20000里头扣除（要是这样的话，学费肯定是大于20000）？


2、他要求我在3.31前答复他接不接受这个奖。我申请了14个，到现在还有9个的录取结果是未知数，我心里的初衷是想再等等看还有没有别的学校了、请问下大家该如何和奖学金委员会联系来推迟一些时间，或者是先接受了，还能不能再来了别的更想去的学校时候拒掉？希望高人支招。我已经和录我的教授联系了，他说他们系控制不了奖学金委员为，没法延期。我到现在还没敢和奖学金委员会联系。

1. 看文章中的意思，应该是学费从奖学金里面扣。也许学费不到20000吧，而且你还可以申请别的奖学金，不知道会不会cover你的生活费。这种给奖学金的方法还挺奇怪的。强烈建议你发信问一下到底学费怎么出
2. 没什么好建议，自己做决定吧

不是读博，我本身申请的是PHD，假期时候那教授给我说他们系只能是MS才能申请PHD，就叫我转成MS了。我现在是MS。
