    Funding Phd
AI Thread Summary
For international students seeking a PhD in Electrical Engineering in the US, securing full funding is uncertain and varies by institution. Applicants must indicate their need for funding during the application process, but funding decisions are made by the university after acceptance. There is no guaranteed pattern of funding across applicants at specific universities. If accepted without funding, many consider it a rejection. Typically, funding arrangements are communicated alongside acceptance letters, but the overall process lacks certainty regarding financial support.

Hi,

I want to have a PhD in Electrical Engineering in US.

Is there any grad school where an international student can get full funding with certainty?

Also, is there any grad school which does not cost me more than 15K annually in tuition fees and other related stuffs?

Thanks

Hi,

You apply and say you will need funding. Then they decide whether to accept or reject you, while also giving you information about the funding they choose to offer you (they will most likely include the tuition fees). Nothing else is certain.
 
****. That sucks. So there is no pattern there? Like almost all students applying for XYZ university got full funding etc. Thanks anyway.
 
If you are accepted without funding that is pretty much a rejection, in my opinion. When you receive an acceptance letter they will usually tell you your funding arrangement (if any at all).
 
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"...
