Hi am a computer science undergraduate from an “unknown” university.I also am a math and economics minor.I have a overall 3.8 gpa. I still am 1 year away from my graduation.
And I am an international student.
I am planning to attend grad school for computer science.I am not interested in doing a PHD as of now, so I am just considering Masters in Computer Science.
I am taking my GRE this summer.
I know that many American universities do not offer scholarship for Masters only.I know that there are other options like research assistant or even teaching assistant.But are there any scholarships based on GRE score?Like I know there were a few undergrad schools that offered scholarship almost totally based on the SAT score.
I do not have any research or internship experience and I am sure I wont have any even till the end.
So I am planning to give my GRE score all of my priority.
Since the GRE is more for assessing applicants to a program against each other, generally schools don’t provide scholarships based on GRE scores alone. Since you still have one year of college to go I’d look into participating in some research (for CS research isn’t restricted to just your department!) or really diving into a senior project if your school has that. Given your GPA you may be allowed to take graduate courses during your senior year.
TA/RA funding is usually provided for Master’s students if there is some departmental funding left over after PhD students get funded.
Most countries have some sort of governmental support structure too, like fellowships you can apply for, etc (in the US the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation have fellowships). Some of these can apply for Masters students.
Poke around online and check out the grad programs that spark your interest the most, then write to their graduate coordinators or to graduate admissions to ask politely about funding for grad students.
Good luck!
