Let me just start by saying I'm not going to be able to answer your question (hey, but at least you got a response!). But maybe you can answer mine?
I'm looking into UC Berkeley for grad school and an obviously great perk would be tuition remission. I see that if you work 45% as a GSR (http://grad.berkeley...eligibility.pdf) you can get full tuition and fees covered. However, I couldn't seem to find anything in the Berkeley Jobs section that said tuition remission was even a benefit! Seeing as I'm not sure exactly what these acronyms mean, I'm not sure if tuition coverage is even an option.
1. Can someone clarify what it means to be a GSR vs. regular graduate student working towards their master's?
2. If tuition remission is offered for regular employees of Berkeley, does it matter which department you work within? For example, if I want to study Public Policy but am working as a full-time Research Assistant in the Biology department, am I still as eligible?
I appreciate help from anyone.
Thanks!
