    I came to the United States with little funds and no scholarship within the 2 month of being here I got a graduate assistantship job. This life is a risk. A lot of people discouraged me but you have to put in work to be successful

      It is extremely difficult to get Visa without scholarship or assistantship

      @OkayVonny  Před rokem +5

      I’m happy for you. Yes, life is a risk… but I would also be kind enough to let people know that it’s extremely difficult but they can make it through despite the difficulties. I know someone who came in without an assistantship and got one in his third semester… his first two semesters were more than difficult.

      I first selected the kind of program I can apply to. Then I looked for Colleges Which offered TA in that line. Finally I started applying to as many as possible.
      I didn't get one at the first try.
      Try to build a strong application, focusing on the relevance of your background and why that college is fit for your projects.
      You should really understand how things work there.

    ​​@OkayVonny Thank for the amazing work and your time replying to the comments!
    I have some questions if you don't mind:
    1- The proof of fund we get from the university/ department, don't we? Or is there something I'm missing?
    2- And also in the case of assistantship how much does funding the visa fee cost?
    3- I want to make sure that I understand the process properly, the first thing to do is communicating the professors in the program of interest and showcasing my skills and qualifications, then if I got an approval I should go to fill the assistantship and admission applications? Then I should wait for a final response which may be a rejection inspite of the department's approval?
    4- Is it possible to provide the TOEFL/IELTS score after the application and the institution response if I didn't manage to take the test early?
    5- The last thing will be the deadline, if I'm interested in a fall 2024 assistantship, is it too late to start communicating departments and filling applications now?

    • @emmakekelele
      @emmakekelele Před 9 měsíci

      Some educational institutions combine the notification of admission decisions with the outcome of graduate assistantship position selections. While others , you can apply for them once you're admitted unconditionally into a program. My advice is to contact the program coordinator about the options available.

Also I think you are in texas and I heard in texas universities graduate assistantships only cover the out of state portion of the tuition is that true or did you get full tuition waive?
