Hey, I too was offered admission into PhD EE without funding. The best thing I can suggest to you is to start contacting profs and find one who is willing to fund you with a RA. After receiving my admittance I contacted a few professors and obtained funding that way. It's not as great as a fellowship (free money) as the RA (Research Assisstantship) you need to work 20 hours a week for it. Anyhow most fellowships only last a year, so might as well start research early. The funding is there, you just need to be proactive about it.
