Types of Financial aid?

Financial Aid is awarded to student in 2 different forms.
*. Assistantships
*. Fellowships (or Scholarships)
Lets looks in detail about different types Assistantships and Fellowships available and how they are awarded.
Assistantships
Ph.D. and Master’s students are awarded assistantships, which fall into four general categories:
*. Teaching Assistant (TA)

These awards are typically administered by fields and departments.

Teaching Assistants (TA)
A teaching assistant is an academic appointment in support of the teaching of a course. Teaching assistants may assist in the teaching a section of a course, lead discussions, and/or lead laboratory sections.
For International Students High TOEFL Scores of TSE (or equivalent) scores is required to getapply for TA’s.
Graduate Research Assistantships (GRAs):
A GRA is an academic appointment focused onthesis or other degree-related research of a type that is required from all candidates for the degree. The research project for a GRA directly supports the student’s thesis or dissertation.

Because a student devotes considerable time to thesis or dissertation research, the time devoted to the graduate research assistantship is expected to be significant.
Research assistantships(RAs):
An RA is an academic appointment for research that is not directly thesis-related, 15 to 20 hours per week, averaging no more than 15 hours per week. For example, a RA appointment might include data analysis on a faculty research project not directly related to the student’s dissertation topic. As with otherassistantships, there is no separate application. Students are appointed by departments, fields, or individual faculty.
Graduate Assistantships (GAs):
A GA also can be related to doing work in other departments not related to thesis or projects for your course work.

GRE RUMOURs

Many rumours about gre developed, everytime it changes the pattern!!
In the old pattern GRE,there have been many complaints that testtakers posted questions of their gre test...which was later used by others...advantage for new testtakers.

BEWARE of ExPERIMENTAL SECTION!!

In actual GRE your final score is assessed on the performance of 2verbal and 2quant sections!!
In addition to this 4 sections,an additional section is present!!
Dummy section is just to test your patience and no marks are awarded!
But some people like me mistake the real section with dummy and loose marks which finally affects ur chances of good score!!

So please people,be careful with this section and pay the equal importance and concentration as much the others!!
