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.

Scholarship for pdD foreign student = ?

hi guys, usually how much is the scholarship for a foreign phD student in US?

Where can I find the list of scholarship for physics phD?

thx!:smile:

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).
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
