Question

Does anyone know how i can get low tuition fee graduate school in the united states or canada?

Answer 1

There are two commons ways: you could get a fellowship, or you could get an assistantship.

Fellowships are for exceptionally good students. These allow the student to attend the university for free or for a reduced cost. They are very hard to get and are usually just for PhD students (not for Master's).

If you get an assistantship, you work for the university in exchange for lower or free tuition. You might also get some money for living expenses. Some students get teaching assistantships, which means that they help with teaching classes to undergrad students. If you aren't a native speaker of English, you might have to pass an English test before you would be allowed to be a teaching assistant (who are usually called TAs).

For a research assistantship, you help a professor in your department with his/her research.

Both types of assistantships give you good work experience.

To find information about fellowships and assistantships, look on the websites of the university departments you are applying to. If you don't find any information there, you could call them and ask whether these are available and if so, how to apply.

Depending on the department, receiving an assistantship can be competitive. They often go to the students who the university would most like to have as part of the department. PhD students are more likely to receive assistantships than Master's degree students are.

Answer 2

The asker wonders "does anyone know . . . ?"

If we examine the question, and not what we ourselves think, it becomes clear that the only correct answer is "Yes; someone knows."

The asker's next mission is to find that someone and get the details.
