Let's talk Funding

[NoSleepTilBreuckelen]

You all rock! Maybe you could post the results (or maybe the survey link) in the decisions section. That might drive more participants and will be a great resource for people who are making decisions now!

Since cost of living plays a role here too, I just wanted to share this link: http://money.cnn.com/calculator/pf/cost-of-living/

It's a very useful tool which lets you compare specific towns/cities.

This may be weird, but can I edit my response?  I've gotten more details since I filled out the survey.

I don't think so? You can try clicking the link again, and see if that works, but since it's supposed to be confidential then I doubt it.

I don't know if people are still considering funding, but here are some results I hadn't posted. It's still good for next year! If you want to add your info, you can do it here

This thread is exactly what I've been searching for, but the data is almost useless. I need gross funding separated from tuition. A precious few surveys indicate the difference. There is a difference between waived tuition and 'covered' tuition. in my case, my school 'covers' my tuition by having me work as a TA. My total award is 25k, but I only see 8k after tuition and health care are extracted, plus I'm working for half of the 'award'. I was hoping to compare my package to others, but I think we need to redo the survey?

Go for it!

Hey Max, I could be wrong here, but I think people reported the stipend they received after tuition waiver/coverage. So if someone reported "Tuition Covered" and a monetary stipend, the stipend is the amount that student is paid for the year in addition to tuition. I won't speculate on how people factored healthcare ingot he figures they reported, because I feel like pretty much every school sets that up differently.

 

I think this is some great data! Thanks again to sarab for making this happen

Aw, no problem. And yes! I think that's how it was answered (at least how I answered it).
