kaleisi Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Hi everyone, So upon getting (unofficially) accepted by the department, I was told by the program director that funding was pretty much guaranteed for the first semester for all students. The stipend amount was also mentioned. However, when I got the official letter from the graduate school, there was no mention of funding. Is this normal? Should I ask anyone about it?
Maziana Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 I had one school send me an official letter that didn't mention funding, while they had previously sent an unofficial letter with funding. I think you should check with the program director to be sure, because having things in writing is always best. But I am guessing that you will get funding, maybe in a later letter.
Taeyers Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 The letter I got from the DGS of the department had stipend, tuition (free) & fringe benefits, and fellowship information. The official admission decision letter I received from the graduate school Director of Admissions didn't have anything like that, it just had information about how to officially accept and enroll. I think that's pretty normal.
