Scholarship for pdD foreign student = ?

AI Thread Summary
Scholarships for foreign PhD students in the US typically cover full tuition, with many students also receiving funding through teaching or research assistantships. These assistantships provide a monthly stipend, which varies by institution and location. For example, a student in the Midwest reported earning over $1,500 per month, while a peer at Stanford receives about $2,500 monthly due to a fellowship. Foreign students must pass an English proficiency test to be eligible for admission and teaching roles. Information on specific scholarships for physics PhD programs can be found through university websites and graduate school resources.

At my school (and at almost all others, I think), all MS and PhD students receive full tuition scholarships. We also work as teaching or research assistants, so that we actually make money by going to graduate school. This is the case whether you're a domestic or foreign student. But if you're a foreign student, you need to pass an English proficiency test to be admitted to the graduate program and to teach.
 
oh i c...
then, may i know how much they will pay u for the assistantship?

I get a little over $1,500 per month, and this is common for most schools in the Midwest. They adjust the assistantship based on the cost of living in your particular area. For example, I have a friend who's going to Stanford for a math PhD, who's getting $30,000 per year, which works out to about $2,500 per month (of course he's got a fellowship, so they'd probably pay a bit less to most graduate students).
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
