Maryland College Park funding

I got an MS CS admit at UMCP. Does anyone have any idea about the funding here? Any info is appreciated.

Thanks

Any luck on determining funding amount? I'm on their waiting list

I got an MS CS admit too, and I have the same question.

How much will I get per month if I can get a TA job?

Hi~

I was accepted to the PhD and offered guaranteed TA for two years w/ fellowship. However, it seems that once you find an advisor, you can change to RA immediately.

I also heard that UMD is generous to MS students also.

Good luck!

@kinderegg: The general opinion is that funding is not hard to get at UMD. Apparently, even masters students get funding. Maybe not as RAs. But I've heard that getting a TA is not difficult. Have you accepted the offer yet?

I heard the same as you did. However, there is really no guarantee to get a TA. I am still considering UCLA or UCSD from which I am guaranteed to get at least in-state tuition. Difficult to make a decision.

How about you? Are you still trying to decide?

Yet to decide. I am thinking of going to UIUC. They're very generous there as well. And the ranking is much higher compared to UMD. So no, I haven't made a decision. Not yet. I am kinda leaning towards UIUC though.

UCSD is great. And with in-state tuition, you have nothing to worry about. However, UMD CS dept's brand name is not something to be taken lightly.. Tough decision to make.
