我想求证一下第二段latter half of your funding的意思。到底是一年只有12600,还是奖金分两部分?
Your graduate assistantship will cover your tuition. In addition, you will receive a base stipend of $12,600/Academic Year, paid on a semi-monthly basis. On top of this stipend, our Graduate Assistants sometimes receive additional funds via summer stipends and/or other sources (e.g., faculty research grants or summer teaching).
Graduate assistants are assigned to work with a faculty member. Depending on the faculty member to whom you are assigned, that assignment will involve either a research assistantship or a teaching assistantship. These research and teaching activities constitute an integral part of your academic training. During the latter half of your funding, your Graduate Assistantship will likely entail teaching your own class.
