    LisKis reacted to Nothingtown in How do I evaluate funding offers?   
    Hey there! Congrats on the offer. That's pretty average for a grad school stipend, from what I have seen.  However, grad school stipends are never much compared to what you typically need to live comfortably in a city in the US. 
    You should take a look at some cost of living calculators (here's an example: https://www.nerdwallet.com/cost-of-living-calculator). They'll tell you how far your stipend will go in your selected city, on average. 
    I would say in Maryland with 22.5k you're going to need to live with roommates and keep a tight budget, definitely, but it could be doable.

    Here's a good guide to some nearby natural and historic spots. I wouldn't suggest doing as many in a single day as the guide suggests!

    Here's a pretty good swimming guide. Check out the rest of the website, too- it's for one of our local food co-ops.

    I know at my institution they just make up the difference between my current stipend and the ford. It usually varies per institution. Maybe ask an administrator in the grad school at your institution.

    I applied for predoctoral. Does anyone know how this works? Does this funding offset your ability to get the usual stipend from your institution? Or can you receive both streams of funding?

    I head back from them via email a few weeks back.
    I got in. They said official decisions go out late Feb but they like to give funded PHDs a headsup for their preview day. Its possible you got in but with no funding.
