We usually say scholarship is really just a broad sense of the concept, in fact United States universities to apply for a graduate degree in student financial assistance mainly includes two categories: Fellowship/Scholarship (scholarships) and Assistantship (grants). And undergraduate stage some schools will be issued according to the needs of students with financial assistance, funded postgraduate stage all are not based on students ' needs and is based on the extent of the outstanding students. In a number of well-funded schools such as Cornell University (Cornell University), Yale University (Yale University) and almost all successful applications for PhD students will be issued to cover tuition fees, school, fees, allowances and health insurance and other costs of scholarships or bursaries. In other schools, schools for students in the best that a small number of people will get schools, financial aid, and the other students can only wait for a second term or the second year it will be possible to obtain the qualifications (General scholarship grant are not require students to think that the cost of school work, and grant payment you require students to schools to provide various types of services such as assistance in correcting papers, Professor lead students to organizational learning discussion group, supervising students conduct experiments, or assist professors to conduct research work and so on). Scholarships and bursaries of quantity is the basis for what you choose to pursue professional areas, vary in engineering, computer science, mathematics, and other areas, approximately 82% of full-time doctoral students and 50% of postgraduates can obtain grants, most of these grants by the Government or businesses. Similarly, the majority of engineering and science and Engineering awards/scholarships for graduate students get chance and amounts are far higher than for other areas of the students. Relatively speaking, the legal profession, medical, commercial, and other areas of students received financial aid is the possibility of the school is small.
Grants are generally divided into Research Assistantship (Research Assistant) and Teaching Assistantship (TA). RA require students to participate in the research work and concrete work including experimental operation, data analysis, programming and even cooperation papers, etc. TA's responsibilities include helping professors management laboratory, test scores, etc. Often a Graduate Assistant (RA or TA can only get one) includes a tuition waiver (from half to full) and a grant (amounts in thousands of dollars per year to a few million dollars not, etc.). While most students access to GA but also additional access to a Fellowship, General amount in US dollars per year. From here we can see that if you can get a tuition free GA plus a Fellowship, the total amount is likely to reach even more than a year, the total cost of the school (tuition and living expenses), this is usually called the full prize. But for postgraduate Scholarship (scholarship) in amount often will not be too high, generally not exceeding ten thousand dollars.
So how to apply for a scholarship? indeed, GA and fellowship application procedures are very simple, often simply applicants when submitting application materials when submitting an application form for GA, and schools don't even need specialized applications or only in the application form whether for GA in. While Professor scholarships of audit the same admission, primarily through the application materials (resumes, letters of recommendation, personal statement) to determine the applicant's ability and qualifications. High GPA, GRE scores are necessary elements of an application, but a simple score is not a scholarship. GA is a release by the Professor himself, to gain the favor of the applicant, a professor is looking to research projects in some of the students, thus. Rich laboratory/professional project participants experience (for emphasis on the application of disciplinary) or deep expertise, theoretical know/papers (with emphasis on the study of the subject) for scholarship applications is of particular importance.
