SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on securing postgraduate scholarships for QTF Theory in the USA, specifically for students intending to replace asymptotic perturbative QTF theory with non-asymptotic approaches. It highlights that many universities, such as Stanford, offer assistantships to all graduate students, while others may not provide financial support to international students unless they are in need of teaching or research assistants. It is essential for applicants to contact the graduate admissions departments of their desired universities to inquire about available support options.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Quantum Field Theory (QFT) concepts
  • Familiarity with the application process for graduate programs in the USA
  • Knowledge of financial support structures for international students
  • Awareness of teaching assistantships (TA) and research assistantships (RA) in academic settings
NEXT STEPS
  • Research specific universities that offer assistantships for international students, such as Stanford
  • Explore the application requirements for graduate programs in Physics in the USA
  • Investigate financial support options available for international students at various institutions
  • Review resources on preparing a strong thesis proposal in Quantum Field Theory
USEFUL FOR

International students seeking postgraduate education in Physics, particularly those interested in Quantum Field Theory, and individuals looking for financial support options while studying in the USA.

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?

1. Academic study or achievement; learning of a high level.

or

2. A grant or payment made to support a student's education, awarded on the basis of academic...
 
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.
