Assistantships are financial aids with duties in teaching,
research or school management.
Usually
students receiving the assistantship will receive monthly stipends plus
a
partial or
full tuition waiver.
Contrary
to many people's believe, there are actually many undergraduate
assistantships available from many universities.
In
order to receive the
assistantship
position, one must be willing
to work while pursuing his/her degree. Generally
speaking, there is a competition for the assistantship positions,
this is especially true to the international student
because assistantships are the
major or only BIG financial
support resource available for international students in most
universities.
How
can
I be secured a financial aid ?
Non-competitive-based assistantship means 100%
of students who can be accepted by the school will be given some
assistantship assignments. Therefore, if you want to secured a
financial aid you should grasp a non-competitive-based
assistantship opportunity from our website.
Here
are a few things that you need to know before using our free
services:
1)
An assistantship is not a scholarship or student loan, nor is it
an opportunity for "free cash"; instead, it is a
major-related hard working opportunity whereby you can earn your
stipend (monthly salary) and receive, in most cases, a partial/full tuition
waiver. Therefore, you should not apply for an assistantship
position if you do not
plan to work while studying toward your degree.
2)
You need to have two dependable e-mail addresses. From time to
time, we find some students' e-mail addresses did not always
work, especially the free e-mail address like Hotmail or Yahoo;
consequently, we were unable to deliver the good news to
students. Sometimes, we can receive an e-mail from a student, but
the student cannot receive an e-mail from us. So please provide
two independent e-mail addresses.
3)
When filling out your resume on-line, you must also provide
three references, they could be your former university professor
or the boss of the company that you are currently working for.
Our experience shows the US university professors tend to
contact your references before contacting you for the possible
assistantship position.
4)
You should not send your resume to us by attached file through
e-mail for your resume will not go to our data base (resume
bank) that way and
therefore your case will not be processed. To enter our data
base, you must send us your resume by filling our on-line form. Help us to help you.
5) We
suggest you prepare your school application materials right now.
Make the formal application as soon as possible when you receive
an offer from a university professor or other funding agents,
because the assistantship job will not be there waiting for you
forever. If you cannot take that duty in time, you will be
replaced by someone else. There is rarely a shortage of
candidates. So please have your school application materials
ready, such as transcripts, recommendation letters, etc.
