Finding Funding for Professional Master's Course-Rice University

[juhisharma]

Hi, I got an admit from Rice University for Professional Master's Course in Materials. But as it is a non-thesis program I can't apply for TA/RA also and a year expense is around 30 lakh which is too expensive. Are there no any funding opportunities available? 

Thanks!

I am in the same predicament. Should take up education loan. Go to the university and try to convince professor to convert your program to thesis based.

Hi, I am also admitted by Professional Masters of Materials Science and NanoEngineering in Rice, I want to know how did you deal with it? Is it possible to convert the program to thesis based?
