Financial Aid for MS in Atmospheric Sciences at UMICH

[rigel_312]

Hi,

I am from India and I would like to apply for an MS degree in Atmospheric sciences in UMICH. I was going through their website and found that there are no specific financial aid for international students. Is this really the case? Or are there any obscure schlorships or financial aid progs that i can apply to?

Please let me know!

Shouldn't you be asking them?

If someone here says one thing and they say another, who is right?

Assuming that "UMICH" is University of Michigan, you need to understand that financial assistance for foreign students at US universities at the undergraduate level are either non-existent or are extremely limited. So this is not confined to just the University of Michigan. Most US schools, unless there is some specific private funds being allocated, do not have specific financial assistance for foreign students.

However, since you are going for postgraduate education, you should ask about teaching assistantships. This again depends very much on the department, how much money they have, and how many they are already giving out to existing graduate students. Incoming and new graduate students typically will have a tougher time competing for the limited availability of such assistantships.

Zz.

Dear Subashini,

Thank you for your interest in pursuing an MS degree in Atmospheric Sciences at UMICH. I understand the importance of financial aid in pursuing higher education. After researching UMICH's website, it appears that there are limited financial aid options available specifically for international students in the Atmospheric Sciences program. However, I encourage you to reach out to the university's financial aid office for more information and to explore any potential scholarship opportunities that may be available to international students in your field of study.

In addition, I recommend exploring other sources of financial aid, such as grants and fellowships, that may be available to international students studying in the United States. These opportunities may be offered by organizations or institutions outside of UMICH.

I wish you the best of luck in your pursuit of an MS degree in Atmospheric Sciences at UMICH. Remember to stay persistent and proactive in your search for funding opportunities. Your dedication and passion for the field will surely lead you to success.

Sincerely,
