    Congratulations Vee! Don’t be afraid to ask your program for funding, most fully understand that students need it and often it can come in the form of experience. The average length of my program was 7 years but I did it in 4 as an international student and had a Teaching Assistantship scholarship throughout (20 hours teaching a week, no tuition and small stipend). It’s difficult to find scholarships outside of your university that are open to international students so definitely would ask your department and graduate school.

    Congratulations! Ph.D. students in the US are generally funded(Cost of attendance along with a stipend for being a teaching or research assistant)for the duration of their programs. Not receiving funding with your acceptance is a bit of a red flag. Check with the school to see if they may have scholarships for the group you will enroll with next year.

    I’m so excited for you! I’m confused though, because most PhD programs in the US are fully funded, so you shouldn’t be having worry about scholarships. Unless this is an Doctorate of Education (Ed.D) instead of a Ph.D. which is different here? Either way, I’m so happy for you; I just know that non-funded programs here can be kinda stressful ❤️

    Firstly congratulations! 🥳
    Secondly, if you can please do see if you can get funding (either internally from your department or externally from other organisations).
    Don't be afraid to keep your options in terms of applying to other PhD programs if this means that you can get it fully funded.
    Also I agree, maintain your privacy, there's no need to explain it to us. Many subscribers think that TH-camrs should be an open book. You're entitled to your own privacy and personal safety

    Oh my gosh girl. So happy for you! May I just say wow- how amazing is it that you are coming to California USA for your PhD? I'm in CA and been getting my PhD for several years as well. Also we've lived in LA before and may be relocating to back the LA area soon. Maybe I'll see you there! When you say how expensive your program is, it sounds like you are talking about mine! Point of fact, some here mention that PhDs in the U.S are funded. That is definitely true of many programs but definitely not all! My program is not funded at all, and apparently neither are some others! Unbelievably expensive, it's ridiculous.
    Congratulations on getting into your PhD again, that's amazing news! xo
