I have not accepted the admission offer; I did receive funding. 

Can someone with good grammar tell me if I correctly used that semi colon?

Thanks for sharing the information! Congratulations on receiving the funding! I have not heard from UNC so far, maybe I email them next week to ask about funding!

I was accepted to UNC the end of December and still haven't heard funding notifications for next year. I have heard about visits, so if you haven't I'd make sure to reach out to the department

I think they sent out visit day invitation this morning. Probably will go

The department generally finds funding for every PhD student either in the form of an RAship or an NIH training grant.

Thank you! Are you a student there?

Thank you. You are correct there wasn't a mention of the visit for this year but I found this
http://sph.unc.edu/bios/unc-biostatistics-doctoral-program-visit-days/

and assume this year would be roughly the same

Thanks a lot. I just got an email from UNC about the visit day. It seems more details on funding would be given on the visit day.

@statbiostat2017

Thanks a lot for the reply. Congratulations on getting into UNC! Can I know where you learned about the visit day? I don't remember the offer letter mentioned this. 

I also hear that they offer more RA-ship than TA-ship.

So I received a PhD offer from UNC Biostats last week, yet the offer letter did not mention funding details and says 'funding will be determined separately'. I looked through several threads about UNC biostats from last year, and found some applicant admitted to UNC biostats PhD program seems to be unfunded (at least until last March, the date that thread was posted). I am an international student and I feel it might be more difficult for me get funded, so I am a bit worried, and wanted to ask if anyone knows about the funding opportunity at UNC.

Thanks a lot!
