Whats the difference between different types of funding?
I'm an international student and am not very sure how funding options differ. Ie. TA-ship/Fellowship/NSF... etc. Are there any other forms of funding apart from these?
Also, when people put under "profiles and results" and they mention XXX school with 17K. Is this 17K include the tuition fees that you have to pay? Or does it mean that your tuition fee is waived and in addition you get 17K?
Lastly, does anyone know what % of students in a top 10-30 US university gets some form of funding?
Funding is of high importance to me. When I mention to some of my friends about financial issues, they will say "Oh, usually PHDs are funded anyway." After reading threads on this forum, I'm not so sure anymore...
