Thanks all for your kind words...... We give God all the glory

So now there a ban on mentioning my moniker or else Justwise please send offenders to nairaland kirikiri . E has do biko

sirRiddy:
You should know that people would just say random schools that come to their minds.
He needs to do the research himself to get the best results obtainable.
He can search for "Graduate Assistantship Mathematics MS US" in google.
He can also replace Graduate Assistantship with GTA or GRA just for better results.
All these vague questions makes you come across as lazy and you need to avoid that
as much as you can. When you have specific questions, people here will gladly answer that.

I think not in all cases should everyone be painted with the same brush...in this case a lazy brush

Some people are good in research and pulling information and some arent and need a little guidance or for someone to point them in the right direction....its also possible that they know the right direction but just need more info based on others personal experience or recommendation.....

Labelling people puts people off from asking questions and ideally this is a learning environment for some and a new experience. I agree that the same questions are asked all the time when it can easily be found using the search button but then again some people really dont know there is a search button either.....

sirRiddy:

If one cannot make simple research like schools to apply to, that person is likely not ready for grad school. That is the reality. Questions are normal but banal and basic questions like the one above shows lack of enthusiasm and laziness. One should have a reference point after doing some findings to receive better answers and learn from the experience. I did not say anyone is lazy, just that that question makes him come off as lazy. I am only saying the truth and hope not to come off as being too harsh. Many people including myself who went down the path admit to it when mistakes are made later due to lack of research.

fizzile:
Sirriddy am surprised at you to say the least. I least expected such comments from you. You know me so well. If i had any information i needed, i do mail you..dont i? Down to my coming to the UK. Atleast that should tell you am not a novice in this process but just needed a guide for someone. When last did u see me here asking questions of that nature. U know me and u know these are things i have done personally. I simply needed information to guide someone close to me. Not every one is conversant with the steps. To be honest with you, this person who needs this information is my own blood uncle. My mum's younger brother and he is new on nairaland. I gave him a few tips but had to tell him about this thread, of which he came here and sought some guide.
If anyone would have reacted this way, not you of all people. Did i ask for so much?
If one can get such response, i wonder what will happen if one is stranded in the US.
Thanks all the same sirriddy for your response to my humble appeal but nevermind all the same. Cheers.

sirRiddy:
LOL, you have taken it personally.
I responded based on the question, not who asked the question.
I was not trying to be rude and I did not call you lazy. When I wrote the
GRE, I sent my scores to four schools, three out of which I did not apply to.
That was due to lack of research on my part and I wish someone told me the truth then.
My approach was definitely lazy and I made many silly mistakes too.
I was only pointing it out now so he can do proper research before wasting his money.
The fact that he is new makes the answer appropriate so he can understand how
it works and do the right thing. Is it too much for him to read through the thread?
If people lists schools for him, he will just go ahead without doing the right things
and waste resources. Why not tell him read the thread and get better answers?
I did not mean to insult or demean you or your uncle to be honest. I was just genuinely
telling him the right thing to do. If he has specific questions, I will be more than happy to
answer them if I can. How is the UK treating you?

Well its alright. I understand. Just that i didnt have time to really put him through and i asked him to also come here and go through the thread from some parts. No beef man. You are still my niggar..hahaha.. UK is treating me fine but Trumpland na ahead ahead oooo.. Just viewing Trumpland with my binocular. Kinda finding it difficult getting schools that offer PhD in Environmental management. Planning for the next phase after this UK.

femi321:
I am with you on this 100%. I never applied to any of the schools i sent my GRE score to, i wasted all 4 spots and had to send GRE score with a fee again, thats what you get when you don't do proper research on your own or ask the grad cord questions yourself.People telling you to do research is not being rude or proud, is just simply saying i don't want you to make the mistake i made. I don't think its bad when you tell people to do research about schools that meets there requirements et al. All the tools and websites needed to do such research have be pasted, re-pasted, re-re-re pasted over and over again. The least they can do is to dedicated some time to look up schools. Our dreams and what we want from each program are all different,What you deem fit is different from what i deem fit. People will come here and as for schools to apply for and they even mess it up by saying its urgent, I Mean, preparing for graduate school is never urgent..it takes time and a lot of hard work.Nobody has time to do that research for you. I remember someone telling me i should apply to Louisiana State University,Baton Rouge that funding is surer than Jesus 2nd coming, my brother i sent grad cord mail tire, i didn't get any funding, i remember the grad cord telling me that they only give TAs to students that have passed there own English exam. If i had done my research well, i would have gotten that info and i am 100% sure i wouldn't have wasted my $100 application fee and all the cost i incurred in sending GRE,transcript and Toelf score. So brothers and Sisters, you need to start doing your research yourself and come here to as specific questions. Nobody is being rude or proud or whatever English you people call it.

sirRiddy:

Yeah, people would suggest which is not a bad thing, but one should also
do his own research so as to minimize waste especially during this Buhari era.
Thanks to bigFrancis21 for always emphasizing this then. I also wasted 90 dollars
on ASU due to my ara ti o bale.

sirRiddy:
Hmmm. This Trump era no be sere sere.

You should be better than this, you got full funding plus stipends? Great! but using it to start war of words is just immature.

Focus on your project like somebody said to you already.

OGreene:
Awesome!!! Cecemat can you add what you think helped you get funding. Did you speak to the Profs or it was just your application?

bbidakin:


@ Oludare. Please your advise is urgently needed.Please l need information around skools with funding in the US.

Sorry to have to say this but sometimes advice is not what you want to hear.
If you have struggled to collect as little as $100-00
Then how will you pay for all the other things required?
There will be many things to pay for not least air ticket, visa, school fees and accomodation.

If your finances are not strong then perhaps USA school is not for you.
It would be a crime to wast what little money you have starting an application that you can not finish.

OluDare01:
I just wanna chip in this.
Folks, if you have multiple admissions with funding,please try and differ your other admission.
Something happened here at tech,the school lost 70% of her funding and it's been a hard time for grad students here. In situations like this, some folks have left for other schools ,some dropped out of school while others are still struggling to get funding.Funding is contingent upon availability.
So please, don't throw away all your eggs.
Things like this don't happen often but we never can tell what would happen.

It depends on how rich your department is and the strength or number of competitors in the pool.

This information you(as an insider) just dropped is very timely,bro.Tennessee Technological University is one of the schools in my radar, with the hope of getting a TA/RA position. I have always heard that they are generous with funding; even the information about funding on their site subtly attests to this.Please, do you know whether this 70% loss of funding also affects the Electrical and Computer Engineering department?
