Tuition at Cal State Fullerton?

[sarah0942]

I just received an offer from CSUF which included a TA position, but it seems as though I'd still have to pay tuition.  I've heard not to accept an offer if the tuition isn't covered, but I'm just wondering if anyone knows if tuition is ever covered at CSU schools?

In a way it can be if the PI/lab has the funding AND if this is something the PI/lab does.  In reality, you would be working for the PI/lab and using your wages to pay tuition.   

 

To your other concern, this is mostly for Ph.D. programs, which CSUs do not offer outside of the small handful of joint programs with UCs.  For MS programs you are expected to pay your own way but you should find many opportunities for grants, fellowships, scholarships, etc. both on and off campus.
