詳解TA和RA獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金及申請(qǐng)

　　美國留學(xué)相信大家都想申請(qǐng)到獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金出國,這樣就可以為家庭節(jié)省一大筆費(fèi)用開支。而美國獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金中,ta和ra是大家最常申請(qǐng)的,ta也就是teaching assistantship,助教金,而research assistantship就是ra,為助研金,下面詳細(xì)為大家介紹ta和ra的申請(qǐng)。

　　啥是ta：teaching assistantship (ta),a form of financial aid awarded to graduate students to help support their education. teaching assistantships usually provide the graduate student with a waiver of all or part of tuition, plus a small stipend for living expenses. as the name implies, a ta is required to perform teaching-related duties.

　　啥是ra：research assistantship (ra),a form of financial aid awarded to graduate students to help support their education. research assistantships usually provide the graduate student with a waiver of all or part of tuition, plus a small stipend for living expenses. as the name implies, an ra is required to perform research duties. sometimes these duties are strongly tied to the student"s eventual thesis topic.

　　如何申請(qǐng)：ta和ra屬于服務(wù)性獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金,獲得此類資助者每周擔(dān)任12-20小時(shí)的輔助教學(xué)或研究工作。這種經(jīng)濟(jì)資助只提供給碩士或者博士申請(qǐng)者。絕大多數(shù)的美國高校研究生院都設(shè)置這種資助,然而并非所有的此類資助都能覆蓋一年中的全部費(fèi)用,但多數(shù)都在全部金額的2/3以上。不過很多學(xué)校提供這種獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金的同時(shí),還會(huì)給學(xué)生免學(xué)雜費(fèi),也就相當(dāng)于申請(qǐng)到“全獎(jiǎng)”。在這里還有一點(diǎn)需要說明,ta/ra所得是要納稅的。

　　更多的,由于目前申請(qǐng)美國留學(xué)的人數(shù)眾多,所以不光申請(qǐng)競爭激烈,獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金申請(qǐng)競爭同樣激烈,優(yōu)秀的同學(xué)越來越多。在這種情況下,我們提醒大家亮點(diǎn),如果要順利申請(qǐng)到獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金,首先要早規(guī)劃留學(xué),提高自己的硬件條件,其次就是要盡早申請(qǐng),爭取在時(shí)間上占有優(yōu)勢(shì),剩下的,就要看運(yùn)氣了！
