@Silabus Thank you very much!!! I was worried if they offered me a different stipend due to the fact that I am an international student. I will probably go to Texas A&M then, but I am still waiting to hear from two more programs. Thank you again!!

I informed the Department of English at Texas A&M that I couldn't make the recruitment event. I was wondering how much stipends they offered you guys @Silabus @SophieHatter. I am weighing three programs: Texas A&M, Tennessee, and Auburn. Tennessee and Auburn offered me more than $16,000(+fellowships, summer teaching and additional teaching) for 9 months for five years, whereas Texas A&M offered me $1,400 per month for 9 months for the first two years, $1,500 for the third year, and $1,600 for the last two years. I really want to go to Texas A&M due to my research fit, but the small amount of the stipends makes me hesitate to choose Texas A&M.

Hello @Silabus!! I was accepted to the English PhD program at Texas A&M too. I am still thinking if I make the recruitment visit due to a budget. Even if they partially cover my international flight tickets, I still need to spend money on a hotel and transportation. Plus, I will be super-tired after a long distance trip (I need to work for my company too). So I will probably not make the one sadly...
