Lucky815 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Does anyone know how often domestic students receive some sort of funding for UMich's master's of applied stats program? In my original acceptance letter, it said there was no funding available. Today, I inquired whether TA/RA positions ever become available to help fund master's students, and the graduate coordinator said that "traditionally, domestic master's students do have the opportunity to Graduate Student Instructor positions during part or all of their studies, but this is not guaranteed. We will know in late August, how many positions we have available for our Master's students." Given that UMich is the most expensive public university in the nation, I don't want to take a huge risk. If anyone knows the typical trend/whether domestic master's students typically receive funding, I would be extremely appreciative. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goliath15 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 They fund pretty much all their domestic masters students, and a proportion of international ones. They need so many "Graduate Student Instructors" that students from other departments (e.g. Biostats in Public Health) are being funded through TA positions.

Lucky815 Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 That's awesome news! So even though my offer said that no funding is available, it's a pretty safe bet that I'll end up getting something anyway? If so, that definitely influences my decision!
