I have been "patiently" waiting for funding opportunities in both PhD and MS level (electrical engineering). How late can an offer arrive? I have heard some people getting offers even in mid to end June.

I guess this year funding decisions in US will be particularly postponed in some cases as much as August. State Universities relying on anual budget might have not had their funding alloacated yet. Specially in a scenario of budget cuts, intrauniversity discussions might be heating up disputes among departments and programs to decide who is going to take most of the burn. Plunging endowements may need to be assessed more closely now, once the worst havoc on financial markets appear to be past.

As a funding offer cannot be rescinded by the university, I guess (just guess) that many departments may be playing it safe by having based their already made funding offers based on worst-case scenarios that probably will not come true. If it is happening, it's also probably that above normal share of funding decisiosn will be done late this years.
