Okay, so this is graduate students research assistantship at the University of Michigan
0:05
Now, we have done a lot of graduate assistantships. So basically they are like you going to the university and being employed by the university
0:15
Like you work at the university. There are different school, different assistant types of assistantships
0:21
You can have a teaching assistants. Teaching assistantship. You can have a research assistantship, which this one is
0:28
you can have administrative assistantship. So basically you go to the university
0:33
you work for 10 hours a week, 20 hours a week, like helping with these tasks in the university
0:41
and you get basically you get paid, you get your tuitions covered
0:46
which can be quite a lot for American universities, of course. It's kind of a little different in every university
0:55
but basically it's kind of like being employed by the university. You work and you get benefits
1:00
Some universities give you health insurance. Some universities give you sick leave, parental leave, and etc
1:09
So this is an university of Michigan. It's full funding. Pretty much all graduate assistantships are full funding, basically, again, being employed
1:18
by the university. So they have to give you more than just tuition fees
1:24
We have, but no specific nationalities. we have no specific subjects for this one
1:29
Pretty much every subject offered in the university are accepted. And if you want to find the perfect scholarship for yourself

1:57
Now, as you can see, so this covers 100% of tuition fees for assistance with a 25% or greater appointment fraction
2:09
Now, I've looked into this. What I understand is like basically normal employment is about 40 hours a week
2:21
So I think this appointment fraction refers to that. So basically if you are working for 25 of that 40 hours which means if you working for more than 10 hours a week
2:38
you get your tuition fees covered, which some universities, like most universities have, like
2:44
part-time assistants and full-time assistants. And full-time assistants work for 20 hours a week
2:49
and part-time assistants work for 10 hours a week. So basically this is, like if you're more than part-time
2:57
assistant which is more than 10 hours so your tuition fees are covered and you have stipend stipend
3:05
is different for different campuses but basically um it's just like about 25 26 000 uh dollars which
3:15
this is per term um i'm going to look into that more closely because like there's not even per year
3:22
so if it if it was per year even then it would be really good 24 000
3:27
which would mean about $2,000 per month. And this is per term
3:32
So it's more than $3,000 per month. So it's quite good. And like living in Michigan, Michigan is not one of the most affordable places in
3:44
United States, but also not one of the most expensive places. $3,000, $4,000 absolutely should be enough to cover your expenses
3:51
And then you get health care. So yeah, this is the coverage. As you can see, it's a very generous scholarship
3:57
And, well, if you get this, you go to the university, you work, and then you get quite a lot of benefits
4:07
This is for master's and PhD students, but for assistantships, usually master students can apply for these, but they, I'm told that they are usually go to PhD students
4:19
It's not impossible for master students to get these, but again, it's kind of rare
4:24
So the University, the University of Michigan, again, as you can see, it's in the United States, Michigan
4:30
It's kind of large-ish for United States. We have six different scholarships here
4:37
We have more information about admission process, about the deadlines. And as you can see, tuition fees are kind of like more than $55,000, which is kind of on the higher side of tuition fees for United States
4:52
which can be anything between lower side is like about 30 and it goes up to
4:59
60 65 dollars so 50 is kind of on the lower lower end but of course this completely covers this tuition fees You don pay a dime for tuition if you get the scholarship
5:14
And yeah, if you want to see where the university is, University of Michigan, it's not an extremely high-end university, like high-ranking university
5:25
But it's a good university if you want to study in the United States
5:30
It has great alumni. And as you can see, it's kind of like a really nice university
5:37
If you want to study in the United States, and I do know for a fact that a lot of you do from the questions we always get
5:48
So yeah, this is the university, University of Michigan, central campus. So we can look into this
5:56
I kind of like the architecture. Yeah, anyway, this is the school
6:01
So we can get more information about the scholarship here. We've seen the coverage
6:08
We have eligibility criteria. Students in good academic standing, enrolling in a degree-seeking program
6:13
with the minimum credit hours per term. We have application procedure. Basically, you apply for the scholarship
6:24
for the assistantship after you are admitted to university. So one thing you have to keep in mind that you get the scholarship after you are like after you go to the university
6:35
So basically you are admitted to the university. You go there, you start your education and then you apply for the scholarship
6:41
So like you cannot just, you cannot just depend on this scholarship to cover your expenses, your tuition fees
6:50
You have to have your own like savings, your own funds that you can depend on
6:56
before going to the university, and if you then get the assistantship, it covers everything and you get to keep your savings
7:04
So keep that in mind. Like this is not something that you can just win, you can just earn
7:12
and then go and study at the university. So we have the deadlines here
7:17
And as you can see, and if you want to get even more information, you can click here, apply now to go to the university's page for this scholarship
7:26
All right. They give you more information here but there nothing we haven been through Like again as you can see we have enrollment requirements about like credits of hours
7:43
We have a period of appointment. Stipends. You can get more information about stipends by clicking here, which gives you, like, information about stipends on different campuses
7:58
Right? And then, um, um, Yeah, we have more, like, fraction of effort
8:05
So, like, we have, hang on, there's one thing. One more thing
8:10
What is it? So there's one thing that you usually cannot work for more than 20 hours
8:18
So basically, this stipend is for people working for 20 hours a week
8:26
You can work for more than that. But it's like, it has to be a special case
8:31
Like, there has to be a reason for. university to accept. Usually they don't really help, they don't really
8:36
universities that they don't really let you work for more than 20 hours a week
8:41
because it kind of it is seen as kind of counterproductive for your education
8:48
But they can, they can give you that, they can give you that opportunity, but you have to
8:56
have a good reason. So as you can see, we have benefits here. We have dental insurance here
9:03
retirement savings plan, summer insurance coverage, tuition waivers, as you can see
9:10
a graduate student research assistant who holds a 25% or greater appointment fraction
9:16
throughout not less than an entire academic term is eligible for a tuition waiver
9:20
which eliminates the appointee's responsibility for tuition payment for that term. So yeah
9:26
Leaves of absence without salary, other benefits. And if you want to get more information
9:31
you can contact the so usually process of process about like graduate assistantships are really kind of detailed and complicated
9:43
mainly because as I said it is just like working for the university so it's like kind of like an
9:51
employment process so that's why they are very complicated so yeah this is the scholarship
9:57
if you have even more questions you can leave them in the comment section and as you can
10:03
