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.
