1:08
graduate assistantship? Basically, it is being kind of being employed by how high
1:13
where can I find master's scholarships. We just did one. Hang on, let me just
1:19
share it with you. For example, one example is this. For example, this is a
1:27
scholarship for master's students in Netherlands. You can look into this or what you can do is go to our website
1:40
globalscholarships.com and hang on. If you have a country that you are interested in
1:46
you can type that in. For example, let's say United Kingdom or United States
1:51
Right, and click. Or if you don't have any country in a place in mind, you can
1:57
just hit enter here and then filter that by degree and choose master's. If
2:05
you want a scholarship that you can apply right now, you can choose
2:09
deadline currently open and as you can see you have hundreds of scholarships
2:15
here. I'll just share the link with you so we can look into this. You can
2:19
also like filter further for, hang on, this is still United States. Why? No, all
2:27
locations it should be. You can filter for subjects, nationalities, scholarship deadline, scholarship type, full funding, full tuition. Now, graduate
2:39
assistantships are also available for master's students but if I'm not mistaken, they are usually given to PhD students. Master's students can
2:49
get them but I am told that it's not that common that they get it. It's
2:55
kind of rare. Anyway, this is one of those. Basically, it's kind of like
3:01
being employed by the university. You go to the school, you work as an assistant
3:05
You can be a research assistant, you can be a teaching assistant, administrative
3:10
assistant or academic assistant. So you work like up to maybe 20 hours a week in
3:17
university and in turn they give you a lot of benefits. This one in particular
3:23
covers your entire tuition fees which can, you know, in the United States can
3:27
be like as high as $60,000 a year. It will give you health insurance which is
3:34
really extremely important in the United States and will also give you
3:38
kind of like a monthly stipend. Usually not this high because this is like this
3:44
is some of the highest numbers that I've seen like $3,000 to $6,000
3:50
monthly for assistant instructors. $2,000 to $5,600 monthly for teaching assistants. These are quite high numbers which will of course, you can easily live by
4:04
just by this living stipends. Enroll for at least nine semester hours in a
4:10
degree-seeking program. So the university is University of Texas at Austin. As you can see it's a large university in Texas and there are some other
4:21
scholarships as well. Now we have admission and deadline information here for this university and as you can see their tuitions are normally high but
4:30
for master's it's quite lower than what you would see in a United States
4:35
University. Basically because you see in the United States from $30,000 to $60,000
4:41
This is quite affordable compared to those and if you want to see like what
4:47
the university looks like. Here it is. Let's see. It's in Texas. Austin is a city in
4:56
Texas. As you can see it's here. It's quite close to other cities like San
5:01
Antonio, Houston, Dallas. Here it is. This is where it is and this is the
5:07
university basically if you want to study in the United States. Maybe if you
5:12
want to study in Texas which is kind of like a rising star in a United States
5:19
economy. At this point like people are talking about like whether it will be as
5:25
big as California. So like if you study in Texas and like you especially for
5:33
your PhD education you will probably be able to find employment like job
5:38
opportunities. There are a lot of job opportunities now in Texas. So yeah
5:44
So this is the university basically. If you want to get more information about
5:49
the scholarship you can just click here. They give you a lot of information. Now
5:55
usually information on graduate assistantships are really detailed mainly because as you can see this is employment. So it will have a lot of
6:05
detailed information as you can see. Resources, training, student employee compensation, benefits. You can click on any of these. Tuition and costs, resident
6:16
tuition entitlement. But basically in a nutshell it covers your tuition fees, it
6:24
covers your health insurance and it gives you a lot of stipend to cover your
6:29
expenses. That's pretty much it. We do graduate assistantships pretty much every week but most of them do not cover, are not this comprehensive. Some of them
6:39
only covers tuition fees. Some of them covers just a part of the tuition fees
6:43
So this is quite good of an opportunity. And before like prompting Eamon in I'm
6:53
gonna also say one thing that he always emphasizes about graduate assistantships. Graduate assistantships are not earned before applying or going
7:03
to the university. So basically you need to apply to the university for a PhD program and then you get admitted and then you like you go to the university
7:11
and then you can apply for the scholarship. So like you cannot, like you
7:16
have to have a plan beforehand for financing your education and then if you
7:21
get the scholarship, get the assistantship, you don't need to spend all your
7:26
savings. You can just keep them, maybe also travel and etc. So yeah, that's
7:31
pretty much it. Eamon, do you want to add anything about this one
7:36
Yeah, maybe just like a point about masters or PhD students being graduate
7:44
assistants. I agree with you that well, dependent on the country, PhD students
7:52
are given priority mainly because most of them are going to be professors
7:57
themselves and that serves as a good experience. So universities would
8:08
rather hire PhD students to give them that experience. So they act as more or
8:16
less full-time professors, but without that title, of course. Whereas master's students, they're not employed in that capacity most of the time and this is
8:31
also university dependent. So they could be employed as an assistant who also
8:41
gives lectures or seminars. Well, that also I keep emphasizing that it depends
8:51
on the university, but they're sometimes employed in the capacity of grading
8:57
papers, for example, and not actually doing the teaching. So it just depends on
9:07
the university, the title or the job they're offering and the job you're
9:12
applying to. And that's why PhD students are actually favored in that department
9:19
Yeah, so other than that, I think you mentioned everything there is to mention
9:24
and I agree with you that the stipend is quite generous, going up to $5,000, which
9:32
is quite good to survive on. So you probably wouldn't need another job on
9:40
top if you're teaching. I think you're... Is it my connection or is it your connection? I'm not sure. I
9:59
couldn't quite catch the last sentence you said. It might be my connection
10:07
I'm not sure, but I said that $5,000 is good enough to live off of without
10:15
requiring an additional job on top of your teaching position. Yeah. Also, Texas is not that expensive. It's not as expensive as places like New
10:27
York or California and et cetera. So yeah, it would be, I say, enough
10:37
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that a lot of people move to Texas for these reasons
10:42
And I think that even taxes are lowered there in comparison to other states. And
10:49
that's what makes it a good place to live in. But at the same time, I think the
10:54
weather is not optimal all year around. So that's also something to consider
11:02
Yeah, I believe like it's about like right now it's reaching or like surpassing
11:11
about 100 Fahrenheit, 100 degree Fahrenheit. It's kind of a normal, becoming
11:17
a normal thing in Texas, I believe, if I remember correctly. Yeah. So you are going
11:23
from a very cold place. It would be very difficult to get acquainted. So yeah, keep
11:30
that in mind, too. Okay, thank you very much. All right, guys, this was the last
11:36
I'm sorry. Do you have anything to add? Okay, sorry, I thought I interrupted you. Anyway, guys, this was the last
11:47
scholarship of today. So if you have any questions, feel free to ask them. I'm
11:52
going to give you like a minute to type them in the chat. Otherwise, I'm going to end the live stream here
