application fee to study in the United States it's very very expensive and I'm very much aware that most of the universities here are waving application fee so what this channel does is that we actually share schools that you can actually apply for free and schools waving application fees one advice I will give you guys is that you shouldn't focus on just schools waving application fees as competition in set schools is likely to be really really high since different people from all parts of of the world want to apply to sex schools instead I want you to focus on schools with moderate application fees as most people will not want to apply in such in such situations to competition in set scho is really really low and it will enhance your chance of getting assistantship or fully funded scholarships here on this episode is yet another school giving International students fully funded Scholarships in the form of graduate assistantships like we always do follow me till the end of this video [Music] so the name of this University is Michigan State University yeah and it's obviously in the state of Michigan prec to be precise is in the city of lansen which is the capital of Michigan so they have lots of funding opportunities and then they they have Lads of programs as well so without wasting much time time let's quickly run through their program of study right these are the programs they have so so many programs so you can actually use this section as a filter right but but for the sake of this video I don't want to filter anything so for instance biomedical engineer these are by the way these are all graduate programs so this is a link to the departmental website so if you want to check you can go through their departmental websites what they do and then their research and all that admission requirements and stuff like that yeah so I do not want to waste much time I'll actually leave the link in the description box for you to navigate yourself since they have loads of programs here chemistry so this is the link to their program right so this is their Department email so if you have any questions you can ask them right so you can open their the link to the departmental website and then navigate check what they about and then what they do and then possibly funding opportunities right so we are quickly running through their programs right so it's loads of programs I I I honestly do not know any program that they do not offer it's actually one of the best schools in the United States and actually the second best school in the state of Michigan after University of Michigan so this is Michigan State University marketing mathematics mechanical engineering media and information loads of programs it's it's one honestly one of the that I like yeah I like them for the fact that you do not need any academic evaluation once they admit you you will have to just tell your University to send them your transcript and then they will be fine so they have loads of programs teacher education statistics probability and all that right so that is it so let's quickly run through their funding opportunities so when you highlight on funding here you can see assistantships fellowships travel funding external funding research support So this video is obviously about assistantship so let's quickly check that so they have graduate assistantships right so this is they are trying to explain why what an assistantship is and if you followed my page for long you know what an assistantship is so graduate assistantship is a generic term referring to financial support of graduate students that result in stipended and compensation and for which performance of defined duties is expected obviously right so here in this school more than 3,000 assistantships are available to qualify graduate students at Michigan State University so they have more than 3,000 slots so you can see that there are lot of opportunities for you out there if you want to apply yeah so you can read all these if you want so they have graduate teaching assistants right as subject to collective bargaining agreement by that so if you want to read about their teaching assistant you just hit on that and then this is the GTA page right so what you'll be required to do maybe you might you may be required to teach a section maybe lead a recitation work as a help room tutter run a lab Ser as a grer or stuffs like that I mean so I want you to apply to this school if you really want to the only obstacle here the only problem here is that they have a $75 application fee like I I always say most people will not want to apply to the school because of the application fee so if you really really want to secure an assistantship then look no further than this University Michigan State University yeah so the procedure in the appointment you can read through all these the prerequisites yeah what you need to do to um um to make sure that you you get a funding the pr Rex yeah and know that your responsib responsibilities see you can work 10 hours a week 20 hours a week or 30 hours per three quar typ typings right so if you know want to know how much you earn these are this is a link for the typing ranges right so you click on that then you check right so this so I want to explain this page right so this is um this section is for research assistant and teaching is excluded right so and then this is how much you'll be paid by weekly which is every two weeks right so this is just research assistantship and you wouldn't be teaching right so for level one for level one maybe if you are doing a quarter time that is the minimum minimum will be $475 and the maximum will be $825 every two weeks for half time you'll be paid $950 every two weeks and then 1,650 every two weeks for 3 quter time you'll be paid $1,425 every two weeks and then $2,475 every two weeks right so this is for level one and then this is for level two these are that so the rates it's like really like that so you can check on these if you know the want to know the meaning of level one level two it's um they're trying to refer to like it's in relation to how experienced you are so I mean which means that if you are admitted now maybe you'll be on level one and then as time goes on you progress um you progress from level one to level two and then level two to level three depending on how effective your work may be and this is also um research assistant and teaching excluded right this one was for 2024 2025 right so this was for the rate for last year so they've actually gotten a rate easy so this was what they were earning last year and then this is what they will be earning this year last year they was you can check here this line 44764 and now it's 475 825 why so this is for teaching assistantship this is teaching solely teaching for this year 2024 2025 quarter time the minimum is 537 the maximum is 940 for half time 1074 and the maximum time it's 1,880 for the fourth time is 1,611 and that is for level one level two is that for level two you get a raise obviously and then for because you you become more experienced for level three that is that so this is the rate right if you really want to apply it's simple one thing I like about them is that the assistantship when you are making the application you indic there's a section you indicate that you want to be considered for assistantship right so you just all you have to do is just indicate that you want to be considered for assistantship and that's it you don't need to make any separate application for the assistantship right so I urge you to apply foret about I know $75 is not it's not a small money but then if you can if you can apply I will you you you know that it's actually worth it $75 this is an amount but then for the benefits I don't think it's too much so that is it if you really want to apply I'll leave the link to the University's website so you can navigate yourself so if you want to apply this is the application tab you hit on that right International applicants graduate applicant if you want to learn more you hit on learn more and then start an graduate application you create an account and I've already made a video on how you can go about this it's actually my channel if you really want to apply just go and watch that video and the
