00:00:00.030 --> 00:00:02.009
hello everyone welcome back to my

2
00:00:02.009 --> 00:00:04.980
channel now that you've made a list of

3
00:00:04.980 --> 00:00:06.540
your universities if you haven't made

4
00:00:06.540 --> 00:00:08.550
them yet go back to the previous videos

5
00:00:08.550 --> 00:00:11.219
don't skip them because we're going step

6
00:00:11.219 --> 00:00:13.500
by step to finding the right University

7
00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:15.120
where you're gonna study so now you have

8
00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:17.070
the list of universities and now your

9
00:00:17.070 --> 00:00:19.320
task is to figure out do they have

10
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:21.660
financial aid and today I'm gonna teach

11
00:00:21.660 --> 00:00:24.060
you three types of financial aid that

12
00:00:24.060 --> 00:00:25.680
you should look for when you're looking

13
00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:27.990
for a university to get into in the

14
00:00:27.990 --> 00:00:29.550
United States if you're interested

15
00:00:29.550 --> 00:00:36.239
continue watching first type of

16
00:00:36.239 --> 00:00:38.250
financial aid is my favorite and it's

17
00:00:38.250 --> 00:00:40.200
called scholarship why is it my favorite

18
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:42.090
because once you get a scholarship

19
00:00:42.090 --> 00:00:43.800
you don't really owe anything to a

20
00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:45.930
university so the way it worked for me

21
00:00:45.930 --> 00:00:47.729
with Johns Hopkins universities and

22
00:00:47.729 --> 00:00:49.649
masters in marketing they told me that

23
00:00:49.649 --> 00:00:51.870
hey marina we have this Dean scholarship

24
00:00:51.870 --> 00:00:54.750
we have only two of them that we award

25
00:00:54.750 --> 00:00:57.570
every year and you're one of the

26
00:00:57.570 --> 00:01:00.660
applicants that we awarding it to and it

27
00:01:00.660 --> 00:01:04.170
is $60,000 $60,000 is the cost of the

28
00:01:04.170 --> 00:01:06.510
program so what it means I don't have to

29
00:01:06.510 --> 00:01:08.970
pay and there are no strings attached so

30
00:01:08.970 --> 00:01:11.130
I'm just getting it because I've shown

31
00:01:11.130 --> 00:01:13.470
that my application is above average the

32
00:01:13.470 --> 00:01:15.569
University like my portfolio and they

33
00:01:15.569 --> 00:01:17.369
wanted to encourage me to start studying

34
00:01:17.369 --> 00:01:19.890
at their University by giving me the

35
00:01:19.890 --> 00:01:21.810
Dean scholarship there are some things

36
00:01:21.810 --> 00:01:23.938
to remember like Dean's and like

37
00:01:23.938 --> 00:01:25.770
presidents and all of those Fulbright

38
00:01:25.770 --> 00:01:27.600
scholarships are really really limited

39
00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:29.578
so like take for example Temple

40
00:01:29.578 --> 00:01:31.650
University I would say like we have so

41
00:01:31.650 --> 00:01:33.509
many students get into Temple University

42
00:01:33.509 --> 00:01:36.299
and every single student got like $5,000

43
00:01:36.299 --> 00:01:39.360
scholarship $10,000 scholarship but the

44
00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:41.790
average tuition is like $30,000 so

45
00:01:41.790 --> 00:01:43.350
what's important for you to figure out

46
00:01:43.350 --> 00:01:46.530
at this stage is to find out how big is

47
00:01:46.530 --> 00:01:48.450
the scholarship and how big it can get

48
00:01:48.450 --> 00:01:51.180
because again if your budget is like

49
00:01:51.180 --> 00:01:53.970
mine it was like a hundred dollars or

50
00:01:53.970 --> 00:01:56.549
whatever so if it's really limited you

51
00:01:56.549 --> 00:01:58.829
don't want to apply to universities that

52
00:01:58.829 --> 00:02:01.829
would not be able to meet your financial

53
00:02:01.829 --> 00:02:03.240
needs because what you're gonna end up

54
00:02:03.240 --> 00:02:05.070
with is a lot of offers from the

55
00:02:05.070 --> 00:02:07.890
universities and a lot of invoices and

56
00:02:07.890 --> 00:02:09.750
what happens they're gonna tell you hey

57
00:02:09.750 --> 00:02:10.630
Ari

58
00:02:10.630 --> 00:02:13.300
rate of 40,000 dollars and we awarded

59
00:02:13.300 --> 00:02:15.430
you the scholarship which is $5,000

60
00:02:15.430 --> 00:02:17.550
which means that you still owe us

61
00:02:17.550 --> 00:02:18.700
$35,000

62
00:02:18.700 --> 00:02:20.200
you don't want to end up there if you

63
00:02:20.200 --> 00:02:21.940
have a limited budget to make sure you

64
00:02:21.940 --> 00:02:23.530
take the table that we've created

65
00:02:23.530 --> 00:02:26.650
together in the last video go to the

66
00:02:26.650 --> 00:02:29.410
University and check out what kinds of

67
00:02:29.410 --> 00:02:31.270
financial aid you have the next type of

68
00:02:31.270 --> 00:02:33.700
financial aid is called assistantship

69
00:02:33.700 --> 00:02:35.290
and there are two types of

70
00:02:35.290 --> 00:02:37.840
assistantships number one is a teaching

71
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:39.460
assistantship which means that if you're

72
00:02:39.460 --> 00:02:40.810
getting it you're going to teach other

73
00:02:40.810 --> 00:02:43.030
students and help the professor there is

74
00:02:43.030 --> 00:02:44.919
also administrative assistant ship which

75
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:46.660
means that you're gonna work on campus

76
00:02:46.660 --> 00:02:48.910
now really important pay a lot of

77
00:02:48.910 --> 00:02:51.220
attention guys yes there is work

78
00:02:51.220 --> 00:02:53.350
opportunities on campus like you can

79
00:02:53.350 --> 00:02:55.750
work in a cafeteria you can work in the

80
00:02:55.750 --> 00:02:57.940
library and they would give you like $15

81
00:02:57.940 --> 00:03:00.520
an hour and that's it this has nothing

82
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:01.900
to do with an assistantship because

83
00:03:01.900 --> 00:03:03.730
again assistantship is a kind of

84
00:03:03.730 --> 00:03:06.700
financial aid and if you get it yes you

85
00:03:06.700 --> 00:03:09.280
work but what you get is actually free

86
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:12.010
tuition and a step in for example which

87
00:03:12.010 --> 00:03:14.590
is a lot a lot more than what you're

88
00:03:14.590 --> 00:03:16.540
getting if you just do general like work

89
00:03:16.540 --> 00:03:18.760
on campus thing so assistantships are

90
00:03:18.760 --> 00:03:20.440
really really good and they are more

91
00:03:20.440 --> 00:03:22.330
common than scholarships because with

92
00:03:22.330 --> 00:03:23.919
this kind of financial aid you're

93
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:25.930
actually giving something back to your

94
00:03:25.930 --> 00:03:28.330
university again teaching assistantship

95
00:03:28.330 --> 00:03:30.400
they would be looking at higher

96
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.080
TOEFL score cuz if you're an

97
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.480
international student they would need to

98
00:03:34.480 --> 00:03:36.430
make sure that it image is good enough

99
00:03:36.430 --> 00:03:38.500
so you can teach American students how

100
00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:40.420
that works so for example you got a

101
00:03:40.420 --> 00:03:42.730
teaching assistantship you get assigned

102
00:03:42.730 --> 00:03:45.130
to a professor likes a maths professor

103
00:03:45.130 --> 00:03:47.500
and your professor tells you okay could

104
00:03:47.500 --> 00:03:49.810
you please help me prepare the deck for

105
00:03:49.810 --> 00:03:52.150
this lecture now tomorrow I want you to

106
00:03:52.150 --> 00:03:54.100
lead a seminar on the topic that which

107
00:03:54.100 --> 00:03:55.870
is discussed and the day after tomorrow

108
00:03:55.870 --> 00:03:57.490
I want you to sit down and check

109
00:03:57.490 --> 00:04:00.250
homeworks from my other students this is

110
00:04:00.250 --> 00:04:01.900
roughly what people do when they get a

111
00:04:01.900 --> 00:04:04.330
teaching assistantship they teach they

112
00:04:04.330 --> 00:04:06.250
check homeworks they prepare tests and

113
00:04:06.250 --> 00:04:08.140
work with a professor another important

114
00:04:08.140 --> 00:04:10.150
announcement there are not a lot of

115
00:04:10.150 --> 00:04:12.820
teaching assistantships and they are

116
00:04:12.820 --> 00:04:13.720
very competitive

117
00:04:13.720 --> 00:04:15.940
apart from Hayatou full score they would

118
00:04:15.940 --> 00:04:18.549
also be asking you to maybe fill out a

119
00:04:18.549 --> 00:04:19.730
separate application

120
00:04:19.730 --> 00:04:21.320
which I did when I applied for a couple

121
00:04:21.320 --> 00:04:23.960
of teaching assistantships and they

122
00:04:23.960 --> 00:04:26.089
would compare your application with

123
00:04:26.089 --> 00:04:28.130
other people's applications so it's a

124
00:04:28.130 --> 00:04:30.920
good practice to reach out a university

125
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.140
and ask them oh I've seen that you have

126
00:04:33.140 --> 00:04:35.480
teaching assistantships on your website

127
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.120
could you please tell me who gets them

128
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.180
how many of them do you provide and what

129
00:04:41.180 --> 00:04:42.980
is the amount of financial aid that I

130
00:04:42.980 --> 00:04:44.630
get together with that assistantship

131
00:04:44.630 --> 00:04:46.550
because again the common practice is to

132
00:04:46.550 --> 00:04:48.620
waive your tuition and give you some

133
00:04:48.620 --> 00:04:51.410
step ends so you can live but sometimes

134
00:04:51.410 --> 00:04:53.750
it's only like half tuition of 30%

135
00:04:53.750 --> 00:04:56.060
tertian I got a teaching assistantship

136
00:04:56.060 --> 00:04:57.950
one apply to the University of Florida

137
00:04:57.950 --> 00:05:01.610
and it was ten hours a week of work at

138
00:05:01.610 --> 00:05:03.860
an administrative position and it

139
00:05:03.860 --> 00:05:05.900
required me to work part-time on campus

140
00:05:05.900 --> 00:05:08.180
doing administrative work normally that

141
00:05:08.180 --> 00:05:09.950
will be like maybe working the

142
00:05:09.950 --> 00:05:11.450
admissions committee like going through

143
00:05:11.450 --> 00:05:13.670
new applications or working in an

144
00:05:13.670 --> 00:05:15.560
international department helping other

145
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.290
international students navigate through

146
00:05:18.290 --> 00:05:20.540
their new life so there are a lot of

147
00:05:20.540 --> 00:05:23.150
types of administrative work on campus

148
00:05:23.150 --> 00:05:25.630
but again if you get awarded a

149
00:05:25.630 --> 00:05:27.680
administrative assistant ship you get

150
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.820
normally tuition waivers zip and etc and

151
00:05:30.820 --> 00:05:33.650
again highlighting this all the time

152
00:05:33.650 --> 00:05:35.600
this is all really really competitive

153
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:38.620
just imagine like average tuition

154
00:05:38.620 --> 00:05:41.860
$40,000 you're asking a university for

155
00:05:41.860 --> 00:05:44.630
$40,000 if you're an average applicant

156
00:05:44.630 --> 00:05:46.640
and don't want to put a lot of effort in

157
00:05:46.640 --> 00:05:48.589
your application guess what you're not

158
00:05:48.589 --> 00:05:50.839
gonna get it like universities are

159
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:52.839
looking for very extraordinary

160
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:55.430
outstanding students who put a lot of

161
00:05:55.430 --> 00:05:57.290
effort in their applications we're like

162
00:05:57.290 --> 00:05:59.120
I really really want to study with you

163
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.160
here are my accomplishments this is what

164
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:02.900
you're gonna get if you accept me like

165
00:06:02.900 --> 00:06:04.760
those kinds of students get it water it

166
00:06:04.760 --> 00:06:06.800
financial aid so please take it very

167
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:09.140
seriously don't just be like oh I sound

168
00:06:09.140 --> 00:06:11.330
like ten obligations just wait no really

169
00:06:11.330 --> 00:06:13.580
put you hard and to them like read

170
00:06:13.580 --> 00:06:15.350
whatever university wants to tell you on

171
00:06:15.350 --> 00:06:17.240
their website and type of financial aid

172
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:18.890
number three there AR different

173
00:06:18.890 --> 00:06:21.980
fellowships provided by our professors

174
00:06:21.980 --> 00:06:23.630
themselves like for example if you are

175
00:06:23.630 --> 00:06:26.839
doing PhD PhD is very often financed by

176
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:28.520
fellowship so imagine we have a

177
00:06:28.520 --> 00:06:31.100
professor he's doing your research and a

178
00:06:31.100 --> 00:06:32.570
university gives them two hundred

179
00:06:32.570 --> 00:06:33.650
thousand

180
00:06:33.650 --> 00:06:36.110
for that research what he does with that

181
00:06:36.110 --> 00:06:40.370
money the professor he hires or like

182
00:06:40.370 --> 00:06:44.270
works with four PhDs and uses that money

183
00:06:44.270 --> 00:06:47.540
to pay them Stepan and phd's get jiton

184
00:06:47.540 --> 00:06:49.490
vapors or whatever from the university

185
00:06:49.490 --> 00:06:52.130
this is how fellowships work and another

186
00:06:52.130 --> 00:06:53.930
type of financial aid really depends on

187
00:06:53.930 --> 00:06:55.760
your country but again I would highly

188
00:06:55.760 --> 00:06:57.470
encourage you to check if there are any

189
00:06:57.470 --> 00:06:59.540
government programs from your country

190
00:06:59.540 --> 00:07:02.150
that would sponsor your studies abroad

191
00:07:02.150 --> 00:07:04.250
but pay attention to a very important

192
00:07:04.250 --> 00:07:05.810
thing is that if you are sponsored by

193
00:07:05.810 --> 00:07:07.730
your government or maybe Fulbright

194
00:07:07.730 --> 00:07:09.500
scholarship which is provided by the

195
00:07:09.500 --> 00:07:12.170
American government to help people come

196
00:07:12.170 --> 00:07:14.150
here to do the master's degree there is

197
00:07:14.150 --> 00:07:16.670
a rule after those programs that once

198
00:07:16.670 --> 00:07:19.160
you complete them you cannot stay in the

199
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:21.620
US because if you're a student that is

200
00:07:21.620 --> 00:07:23.990
not involved in any linked governmental

201
00:07:23.990 --> 00:07:26.210
program if you come here to the US and

202
00:07:26.210 --> 00:07:28.100
study at least a year on a full-time

203
00:07:28.100 --> 00:07:30.620
program you get one two three years of

204
00:07:30.620 --> 00:07:33.290
work permit but if you're sponsored by

205
00:07:33.290 --> 00:07:34.880
your government you will need to go back

206
00:07:34.880 --> 00:07:37.400
and work in New York country just keep

207
00:07:37.400 --> 00:07:39.500
that in mind you're a task after this

208
00:07:39.500 --> 00:07:41.660
lesson is to go back to your table that

209
00:07:41.660 --> 00:07:43.460
you've created with your universities go

210
00:07:43.460 --> 00:07:45.230
to their websites and check out what

211
00:07:45.230 --> 00:07:47.630
kinds of financial aid they provide and

212
00:07:47.630 --> 00:07:50.420
how big is it that's really important if

213
00:07:50.420 --> 00:07:52.400
their website doesn't say anything reach

214
00:07:52.400 --> 00:07:54.050
out of them should them an email

215
00:07:54.050 --> 00:07:56.960
tell them how amazing you are so they

216
00:07:56.960 --> 00:07:58.340
would pay attention to your email and

217
00:07:58.340 --> 00:07:59.630
ask them about the amount of financial

218
00:07:59.630 --> 00:08:01.700
aid that they have that was it for me

219
00:08:01.700 --> 00:08:03.080
