0:00
So again, if there's anything else we can help you, just feel free to ask them
0:07
So anyway, this is again graduate assistantships and associateships at Western Michigan University
0:13
This is for masters and PhDs. It's full funding. There are no specific nationalities or subjects for this one
0:20
And the deadline is July the first, not June the first, it's July the first
0:23
So good. That's good. So we do assistantships every week, pretty much
0:32
I believe there are good options for PhD students. And as you can see, if you go to our search tool and just look for PhD scholarships, especially
0:48
in the United States, quite a lot of them are graduate assistantships
0:53
These are basically kind of like employment in a university. You get to work for a certain amount of time, like 20 hours a week in the university
1:05
And as you can see, it covers up to 100% of tuition fees, which can, in American universities
1:12
can go up to quite a high number. And also it gives you a stipend of $13,000 per academic year, which we're going to see
1:23
where this university is, but it should be kind of above the minimum wage
1:31
You also get other things like on-campus privileges, a library, a campus bookstore, facilities
1:40
and fee exemptions. I don't see health insurance here. This doesn't cover health insurance, apparently
1:46
So the university is Western Michigan University. It's clearly in Michigan. It has about 20,000 students, eight other scholarships
1:57
And as you can see, we have the admission information here. You can just click on these
2:05
We have deadlines here. We have tuition fees. Actually, tuitions are not that high for a US university
2:14
So if you want to learn where the university is, we can just check it here
2:23
So here it is. It's in Michigan. As you can see, it's kind of closer to the East side
2:31
This is the university. It's not an extremely large university. And Michigan is not also, it's not that extremely affordable
2:49
If I remember correctly, hang on, let me see. Trying to find Michigan
2:57
This is odd. Yeah, here it is. So if we look into Detroit, again, not that extremely high as much as New York or West Coast
3:19
So this is the university. It's pretty much it. Not a very large university
3:25
And if you want to get more information, you can just click here to go to the university's page for the scholarship
3:32
We have some eligibility criteria, full-time and a degree, seeking degree, and 3.0 GPA
3:39
or higher, which is not that high. And you can just click here to go to the university to see what it covers
3:46
And here is the general information, teaching assistantships, research and service assistantships
3:53
and associateships. What are the differences? Yeah, you can get more information here
4:00
So these are the benefits. But I would advise you to look also into healthcare
4:10
Healthcare is extremely important in the United States. I always emphasize that
4:15
But other than that, that's it. It's one of the graduate assistantships that we've seen
4:22
We do one every week. So you go and work either as a teaching assistant or a research assistant and get a stipend
4:33
tuition fees are covered, and you get some additional benefits. That's pretty much it
4:38
Eamon, do you want to add anything about this one? Yeah. So one thing I never mentioned about graduate assistantships in the previous weeks is that
4:54
you can only apply for them after admission, unlike other scholarships. So you can't bank on them if you want to study abroad
5:06
So you need to make sure that you can afford studying and living there as you can't apply
5:15
before going there. So once you're there and once you're an enrolled student, only then you can apply for these assistantships
5:26
So that's a very, very important part about assistantships that international students
5:34
need to know because you can't go there with the expectation that, oh, I'll just go there
5:42
apply for an assistantship, and then I can afford my education because you can apply
5:47
and not be accepted, and then you're in a position where you can't afford living there
5:52
or studying there. I mean, chances are you could afford your admission because you were admitted, but if
6:01
you're planning on using the assistantships as a way to fund your stay in your country
6:10
of destination, it's not an option. So you need to make sure that you have all your finances ready before applying for assistantships
6:20
Yeah, that's a very important thing to emphasize. Other than that, I guess that's it
