<p>Are there any fellowships or funding available to international students from schools like NYU or UMich?</p>
<p>I am an international student and currently will be joining a undergrad program at either of the institution.<br>
My family resources are not that good so I can pay either for a good undergrad so that I can get funding for grad school.</p>
<p>Good phD programs will most likely provide funding.</p>
<p>@Bouncer - Does the chances of acceptance into PhD program increases if we have taken undergraduate courses as well as 2-3 grad courses from same institution??</p>
<p>Will it be advantageous for me to join UMich or NYU if I am looking for PhD funding at those??</p>
<p>Also I have heard NYU is very stingy with funding even when it comes to PhD in Math. How true is that?. I am international student so I dont quallify for Federal grants / fellowships or loans</p>
<p>BUMP</p>
<p>Try applying to different programs. My friend who is an international student got full funding for her PhD. You will never know until you see the actual funding offered.</p>
<p>It is very helpful to have a few grad programs you have taken for when you apply for a Phd. It will show that you have to capacity to do such work. You will want to try some summer research experiences if you can.</p>
<p>You don’t usually apply to the same school as your undergraduate college when you go for a PhD. You can, but it isn’t usual and some universities have a rule against it. You will apply to math PhD programs that suits your research interests and where you might get accepted, maybe a range of schools. Then you can compare offers of funding. It is traditional to get tuition waiver, and a stipend to live on, you may get a TA or RA position. It is also usual for the university where you are accepted to fly you in for an accepted student day so you can meet your professors and potential advisors.</p>
<p>Please visit the grad school forum. Browse past posts on the subject, then post if you have more questions.</p>
<p>@Bouncer - Thanks, where did he/she get in with full funding?</p>
<p>@Brownparent - Thank you. I will try my best to take atleast some grad courses in undergraduate itself.</p>
<p>I understand that normally we should go to another school for grad program, but the thing is I want to do a PhD from a reputed Tier 1 school therefore I am wondering if I can assume that if I work hard in undergrad , atleast the college I am presently in doesnt reject me? Is this possible?</p>
<p>Also, I am an international student, do you think school like NYU (Courant) will provide a full funding for PhD for me?</p>
<p>Like I said, some colleges do not take their own students for grad school as a matter of policy. I don’t know enough about the individual colleges to tell you about the ones you talk about. Go to a grad forum here or thegradcafe to ask. But there are any number of top colleges for math that you can apply to. You must apply to more than one.</p>
<p>It is common for students to get full funding when they get accepted to a math phD program, even internationals. There are sometimes exceptions but it is usual. </p>
<p>Purdue</p>
<p>Here is a link to an article about applying to math phd programs.<br>

<p>Keep in mind that your interests and your focus might change in your four years as an undergraduate. You might decide you love Topology or group theory or discrete math etc….and that interest will then determine what type of program you apply to. Although the NRC ranks mathematics programs the NRC rankings are not good at ranking schools based on their individual strengths. And some non group 1 schools are strong in a specific field.</p>
<p>Definitely check out gradcafe and mathematicsgre.com as there are forums where you can get a window into the application process for graduate school in statistics, mathematics and applied mathematics.</p>
<p>My advice is choose the school for undergrad that is the best fit for you, academically and financially. Don’t worry about grad school yet, it is just too soon. If you apply and are admitted to a Math PhD program typically you will receive support for at least 5 years. Being an international student will not be a disadvantage. </p>
