如何申请:ta和ra属于服务性奖学金,获得此类资助者每周担任12-20小时的辅助教学或研究工作。这种经济资助只提供给硕士或者博士申请者。绝大多数的美国高校研究生院都设置这种资助,然而并非所有的此类资助都能覆盖一年中的全部费用,但多数都在全部金额的2/3以上。不过很多学校提供这种奖学金的同时,还会给学生免学杂费,也就相当于申请到“全奖”。在这里还有一点需要说明,ta/ra所得是要纳税的。
更多的,由于目前申请美国留学的人数众多,所以不光申请竞争激烈,奖学金申请竞争同样激烈,优秀的同学越来越多。在这种情况下,我们提醒大家亮点,如果要顺利申请到奖学金,首先要早规划留学,提高自己的硬件条件,其次就是要尽早申请,争取在时间上占有优势,剩下的,就要看运气了!
