It depends on how you apply. Did you contact department or professor? What are the policies of the univerity? I am doing PhD in civil engineering. I came in my master degree just with "out of tuition waiver" and got very less funding after one year. But for PhD, I am in the same school and one of the professor is funding me.

Means, how you applied, just elaborate, so that we can have an intellectual guess. Best of luck.
