UNIVERSITY GRANTS TO INTERNATIONAL GRAD STUDENTS IN THE USA
|
International students who intend to enroll in a graduate or postdoctoral program at a US university should contact the schools that interest them. Students should ask both the relevant department(s) and the university's Financial Aid Office about financial aid. Most support for graduate study in the US for international students is provided by the schools themselves in the form of teaching assistantships and research assistantships. These assistantships are based on academic merit, not financial need.
Institution grants to international graduate students in general do not require work or repayment of the funds. Graduate students should understand the obligations associated with the grant, such as academic requirements or commitment of employment after graduation. Grants may include any of the following:
Fellowships provide a stipend for living and educational expenses which, in general, allow graduate students to pursue graduate study full-time.
Scholarships provide funds to graduate students and are usually awarded based on academic merit or scholarly potential.
Training Grants are very similar to fellowships and provide graduate students the opportunity to develop research skills and techniques in a laboratory setting.
Travel Grants reimburse graduate students for travel to conferences to network and present their research.
