So i'll be done my BA in just a couple weeks... STOKED to say the least!
But, now i've applied to a few Universities out of town, to attain my MA (not gonna go into details until i get accepted somewhere)
One in particular, has an outstanding research assistant/supervisor, which is needed in the completion of my research as a Graduate student; this is a prof. who i believe i will get the best quality of research with/from.
Only thing is that they are full with students for the most part so they have zero funding left to aid me with. However, this prof is stoked on my research proposal so wants to take me on anyways.
What i don't know is how this research funding works... Does anyone have experience with this? Is it crucial to studies?
What i get from it, is that this is just a glorified scholarship (ie. covering tuition costs). Or is it more? I have no idea. Hoping someone can chime in here.
So, if its just something menial that can be easily covered by student loans or something, i dont really care then. But, if its more, then i may take route B (another university which would have more possibilities for funding for me).
Thanks in advance.
