May be interested in pursuing PhD further down the road. Any thoughts on my chances or other programs to apply to are much appreciated.

I am interested in getting my masters in statistics or biostatistics, but it seems that most schools only fund PhD students. Does anyone know of universities that do offer funding (TA/RA positions) to masters students in statistics? Or does anyone know scholarships to apply to to lower the cost of a masters?
