| Aug 1, 2018 at 4:54 | comment | added | Alireza | @xuq01 Of course. The RA/TA is what I'm looking for exactly. But should I ask the professor about it or the department? | |
| Aug 1, 2018 at 4:38 | comment | added | xuq01 | @Alireza They will fund your expenses, but probably through offering you a place as a RA/TA. After all, there are no free lunches! | |
| Aug 1, 2018 at 4:16 | comment | added | Alireza | @xuq01 Does a program being fully funded means it will cover living expenses as well? Or one has to find a job position such as RA or TA for that? | |
| Aug 1, 2018 at 4:14 | comment | added | Alireza | @Dawn I'm not sure, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the departmental funding provide only the tuition fees and to cover living expanses one has to secure RA-ship position in a research group? | |
| Aug 1, 2018 at 4:13 | comment | added | xuq01 | Check with the department. But rest assured most US PhD programs are fully funded. | |
| Aug 1, 2018 at 3:34 | comment | added | Dawn | The person to contact with funding availability questions is probably a departmental or university administrator, not this professor. Have you looked at the website to see who is listed as the admissions contact for the department? | |
| Aug 1, 2018 at 3:31 | comment | added | Dawn | Have you looked at the departmental admissions page for PhD students and see what they say about availability of funding? | |
