Moreover,i was informed that professor will pay our tuition which will not accounted towards fellowship or stipend.So,we should not worry about fees and just concentrate on study without fear.At which extent this is true? And is it true for every US university?
Rumors and Wrong Information
This exact reason why Happy Schools Blog was started. Students want to study in US and that’s all they care and most of them don’t even know if the information they hear from friends or family members are correct. With so much mis-guided information, students like Paresh make incorrect decision and end up at some university, when the could have opted for much better school.

Tuition Fee – Out of State, Instate
Read the following articles to understand the difference between In-state and Out of State Fees
- Difference – In-State vs Out of State Fees
- How to I get In-State Tuition fee as an International Student?
- Criteria to Qualify for In-state Fees for Residents
Professors will not pay your fees. They will either do one of the following
- Hire you as their Research Assistant
- Recommend you for Teaching Assistant position to the department
Professor will pay you per month for working as Research Assistant and when you get RA you qualify for In-state Tuition fees. Same applies to TA, but department will pay for TA. If you get RA or TA, you will qualify for In-State Tuition fees.
Scholarship is completely different from RA or TA. Scholarship are given to students based on academic qualification. International students are not given scholarship based on students financial need. Some scholarship will not get you In-State Fees, it will be just a fixed amount.
