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.

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).
 
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
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...
