    I came to the United States with little funds and no scholarship within the 2 month of being here I got a graduate assistantship job. This life is a risk. A lot of people discouraged me but you have to put in work to be successful

      It is extremely difficult to get Visa without scholarship or assistantship

      I’m happy for you. Yes, life is a risk… but I would also be kind enough to let people know that it’s extremely difficult but they can make it through despite the difficulties. I know someone who came in without an assistantship and got one in his third semester… his first two semesters were more than difficult.

    ​​@OkayVonny Thank for the amazing work and your time replying to the comments!
    I have some questions if you don't mind:
    1- The proof of fund we get from the university/ department, don't we? Or is there something I'm missing?
    2- And also in the case of assistantship how much does funding the visa fee cost?
    3- I want to make sure that I understand the process properly, the first thing to do is communicating the professors in the program of interest and showcasing my skills and qualifications, then if I got an approval I should go to fill the assistantship and admission applications? Then I should wait for a final response which may be a rejection inspite of the department's approval?
    4- Is it possible to provide the TOEFL/IELTS score after the application and the institution response if I didn't manage to take the test early?
    5- The last thing will be the deadline, if I'm interested in a fall 2024 assistantship, is it too late to start communicating departments and filling applications now?

      I first selected the kind of program I can apply to. Then I looked for Colleges Which offered TA in that line. Finally I started applying to as many as possible.
      I didn't get one at the first try.
      Try to build a strong application, focusing on the relevance of your background and why that college is fit for your projects.
      You should really understand how things work there.

    Great video 👏 did you get your assistantship while you were still back home? And did you apply separately for it or it was through the application for admission? Also I think you are in texas and I heard in texas universities graduate assistantships only cover the out of state portion of the tuition is that true or did you get full tuition waive? I hope you can answer?

      @emmakekelele 7 месяцев назад

      Some educational institutions combine the notification of admission decisions with the outcome of graduate assistantship position selections. While others , you can apply for them once you're admitted unconditionally into a program. My advice is to contact the program coordinator about the options available.
