<p>Hello everyone</p>
<p>I have received a full scholarship paus assistantship work from CMU. I have some questions and I really hope you can help me.</p>
<p>They say the stipend is at least 10 300 dollars. How much a graduate assistant receives per month? How many months? With taxes or no taxes?</p>
<p>I'm from Portugal and I don't know if I should ask to the university ( I'm afraid that they may think I'm not being grateful.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>miguelsousa, don’t hesitate to ask the university administrators these questions. They are there to help you and your questions will not be construed as ungrateful. </p>
<p>I don’t think any of us on this forum can address your questions as well as they can.</p>
<p>It is very likely that your stipend will be taxed: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/138614-stipends-tax-free.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/138614-stipends-tax-free.html</a></p>
<p>I encourage you to ask CMU! It’s important to know all the financial basics, and they’ll understand.</p>
<p>They will not think you ungrateful. Everyone needs to ask these questions. Can you tell me your major and principal instrument or voice?
