wfr0001 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hi, I was admitted to Stanford EE PhD, but funding has not been decided. In fact, Stanford EE has sent out all funding offers. If someone decline its offer, the department will distribute the fellowships to someone else. Does anyone know how to increase my chance of getting funding? Besides, I have only one offer with fellowship from University of Maryland, College Park. I really don't know how to choose between them if Stanford does not give me any financial aid. Thanks a lot.

qwop Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Even if you don't get a fellowship, can't you still apply for RA or TA? They'll cover most of your tuition, if not all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfr0001 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Thanks for your reply. Stanford EE does not offer TA/RA to newly admitted students. The only kind of financial support is fellowship... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compiler_guy Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Go to the university that offers you financial aid. It is stupid to go into debt because of graduate school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
student12345 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Agreed. An unfunded PhD program should not even be a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
