Funding TAship at Rutgers for Fall 2020

[gymrat]

Hello, 

Is there anyone who's still waiting for TA appointment result for 2020-21 from Rutgers like me? I'm a new student. I'm so exhausted from waiting. It's been months. I don't know if they're just leaving me hanging or it's really because of COVID that everything is slowed down. Please share your experience and situation as you feel comfortable. I just really need to get distracted from frustration. Thanks

I'm going to Rutgers in the fall and I received my funding package, which includes 3 years NSF funding + 3 years TA funding.... Its very odd that you haven't received your funding package. Everyone (to my knowledge) in my cohort received their package (which includes TAing) before April 15th... what department are you in?

I'm waiting to hear from the Division of Life Sciences, although that's not my program department. What's yours? Also, thanks for sharing your info

I'm in the social sciences. You may want to check your department cause that's uncommon. Are you in masters or Ph.D. ?

PhD. I've been in touch with them this whole time actually. They said because of COVID, they waited for instruction for fall semester and now trying to figure things out. I know it's very unusual, especially for PhD. Thanks tho
