UCF PhD Funding Renewal Question

[nbss]

Heyy,

I’ve recently been admitted to the Public Affairs PhD program at UCF and received a financial aid package (GRA) for the first year.

I noticed that the funding is not automatically guaranteed beyond the first year and is dependent on performance and availability of funds. I wanted to ask if anyone here has gone through a similar situation. Was your assistantship typically renewed in the following years?

Any insights or experiences would be really helpful as I make my decision. Thank you so much!
