Please guide me find out a postgraduate scholarship in Phys.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking scholarships for studying Quantum Field Theory (QFT) in the USA, specifically for a thesis on replacing asymptotic perturbative QFT theory with non-asymptotic approaches. The inquiry highlights the need for financial support for living expenses while pursuing a master's or Ph.D. degree. Responses emphasize that securing admission to a university that offers financial assistance, such as tuition waivers and stipends, is crucial for international students. It is noted that many U.S. universities do not provide financial aid to incoming international students unless they require teaching or research assistants. Some participants share experiences indicating that certain institutions offer full funding to all admitted students, including international candidates, while others may not guarantee assistantships. The importance of contacting graduate admissions departments for specific funding opportunities is also mentioned.

Please guide me to find out a Scholarship on QTF Theory in USA.I intend to make the Thesis on the Replacing the asymptotic perturbative QTF theory(Feymann diagrams) by a Non-asymptotic QTF theory.
Thank you very much in advanced.

What is your definition of scholarship?

I am seeking a scholarship meaning small sum of money enough for food to living in abroad(USA) and after I finish my Thesis I will have a certificate of Master or Ph.D degree.
 
Almost all of the international students at my universities graduate program have their degree from a school outside the US. The University pays their tuition, as well as their living expenses. I am sure there are similar programs for most all of the Universities here. Your best bet might be sending an email to the graduate admissions department of a school you would like to attend, and find out if such a program is possible for your situation.

You pretty much need to apply and be accepted at a University that is willing to support you and pay your tuition.

You might want to read Chapter VI of my "So You Want To Be A Physicist" essay.

Take note that, unless you get accepted at a school that generally gives ALL their graduate students some form of assistantships (example: Stanford), most universities in the US generally do NOT provide any financial assistantships to incoming international students, unless they truly need TAs, etc. There's a strong possibility that you may have to support yourself (and prove that you can support yourself financially to obtain your student visa) until you pass your qualifier and gain either a TA'ship or RA'ship.

I'm a bit confused, all the places that I applied to (including some ranked 50-100 in USNWR) offered full tuition + stipend for *all* admitted students, even internationals. I guess getting admission itself is somewhat more competitive for internationals, but once admitted, I don't think there's much difference in the level of financial support for domestic and international students. (Stony Brook is probably the one exception I know of, but that's kinda a long story...)

Around the Chicago area, I can name Northwestern, UIC, and IIT as the 3 in which you don't necessarily get an assistantship even with your admission.
