Hi Junkiri, From your first post, it just sounded like you had given up before actually doing your share of research. I was wrong and I am glad that you are dedicated to go back to school if you can find the resourced you need. Speaking from my own experience, I had made a decision while I was still a sophomore that I would go to grad school and I didnt wanna work for a year under OPT. So I had my GPA and research credentials in good shape and got admission to a grad school a semester before I actually finished my bachelors. I understand your pain and frustration in not finding funding sources easily. But you need to realize is no one is gonna INVITE you to take their money away..you have to go get it yourself. Thats why the university financial web pages are very brief and vague and dont really tell you how much help you might get. Your best bet is to look at the programs you like and contact the department head directly. If they have more information...find the professor that you would like to work under (look at their research and prior experience) and email them directly. Express your interest in the program and be agressive about what you can contribute. If you feel like you dont have enough experience...dont worry, they dont expect an undergrad student to have much...they are looking for someone they can groom and mould and you just have to show that you are willing to learn and be taught. Be in touch with the profs regularly, tell them you are serious about your academic career and you would need financial help (tell them you earn it...they dont wanna serve you money in a silver platter). The school I went to still says in their website that they expect graduate students to fund their own education and that financial assistant is very 'limited'. As far as I know, 23 of the grad students got fully funded+ stipened. So dont get discouraged by what you see in the website...talk to the professors and tell them how dedicated you are. Good luck!
