I will advise you to choose express entry especially if you qualify. I got ission in a school too but didn't go on and decided to start express entry, a move I didn't regret.

mvem: Hello, prior to my application, I made inquiries about the possibility of funding for MA degree and the response was positive. So once you’re itted, funding is automatic as long as you’ve indicated your interest during application.. PhD applicants get majority of funding. Yours shouldn’t be different..(depends on the department though) |

Lightp: Hi, just keep sending them email from time to time that you're interested in funding. I applied to Bowling Green too but a different department last year. I got itted in February but didn't get funding until June or so. So keep hoping and sending email |

magd: You obviously can afford the express entry. And I can afford a degree from the USA. 1 Like |

Evans211: ok. for clarity. you mean you are currently in with your GC (BGSU) and he/she said that funding comes during the period you mentioned above. Did you have to request for it? |
Lightp: 5:53pm On Jan 26, 2020 |
solihp: Did you accept the offer i.e are you there now or you chose a different school. And what was the nature of the assistantship they offered you. Also did you apply for any scholarship given by the school. |

Evans211:I emailed you...thanks |

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Nobody: 6:04pm On Jan 26, 2020 |
Lightp: This was the response... funding is automatic once you already indicated you’re interested for assistantship/funding during the application..
|
solihp(f): 6:23pm On Jan 26, 2020 |
Lightp: I am in a different school, you'd be asked if you want to be considered for assistantship, if you answered yes, then you'd be considered. Just message the GC. Things are different from department to department |

sonofakin: Hi, congrats on your offer. If you are still waiting for offers from other schools, I will say wait for sometime. But I can tell you that that is a great offer. Most schools do not waive the mandatory fees and most student usually have deficit even after being offered funding. I also had almost exactly the same deficit like you did, so you need to get a sponsor with good bank statements. Most times when your tuition is waived and you have less than 9k deficit, the embassy usually don't ask you for bank statements but you still need to hold one with at least 1.5times your deficit incase it's asked. Also, I do not know the cost of living around your school but a Google search shows that it's not a city, so 13k stipends should sustain you. I school in a city and 10k stipends is sustaining me. But even with the funding, you need money to sustain you for the first month which includes rent, feeding, transportation and all before the stipends kick in. Congrats again, I am excited for you, all the best ![]() Modified:About the tax, it depends on your state. For me I am aways taxed like $81 per month which isn't much 5 Likes 1 Share |

sonofakin: Congrats on both your ission and GA. If they waived your entire tuition, and it's just semester fees or health insurance you have to pay then that should be great. Usually GA stipends (if 20hrs weekly) factor in the monthly costs of living in your town/city, so you should be fine. I school in TX, and monthly stipends after tax is 1338 which is very decent for a student here (with a few hundreds left if boyz no too ball that month ��). I even heard one gets a refund of certain percentage of taxes paid after filing tax returns, interesting.... So all you need are funds for your first month expenses, and a genuine bank statement for the visa interview. Cheers Baba. 1 Like |
