关于phd怎么给钱的问题
564419
Po主近来拿到了两个比较想去的学校的phd offer，纠结去哪个中，但是对他们的finacial support不是很明白。
学校一说：
The SEAS and the Graduate School are pleased to offer you financial support that will cover your tuition ($39,800) and provide a stipend of $33,150 for the twelve-month period beginning August 31, 2016. This presumes that you will join a research group of a faculty mentor by June 1, 2017. Thereafter, your support is expected to be provided by a research assistantship with your faculty mentor. We will provide you financial support of at least an equivalent amount for five years, subject, of course, to your satisfactory progress toward the Ph.D. degree.
学校二说：
All students admitted to our Ph.D. program receive full financial support. This includes tuition, fees, and a cost-of living stipend ($2,850 per month before taxes in 2015-16).All Ph.D. students are required to participate in the educational program for about ten hours a week for one term—usually as a quarter time teaching fellow or in a similar capacity, during their second year of study.
Financial support takes several forms: fellowships, teaching fellowships, and research assistantships. Ordinarily, first-year Ph.D. students are supported with full fellowships so that they can devote all their time to coursework.
Beyond the first year, when students are in a better position to teach and assist in research, support is ordinarily provided through research assistantships, or a combination of a teaching fellowship and a research assistantship.
问题一：这个算是offer还是AD？
问题二：都只给一年的fellowship，第二年开始是要当TA，RA吧？当TA，RA的钱是谁出的呢？是老板么？如果老板不愿意出钱我是不是就要自己交学费了？
问题三：不是后面5年都要当TA对吧？那我不当TA的时候是不是就没有学费钱了？
问题四：他们是不是其实有不用当TA就能cover6年学费生活费的offer？那个叫什么？scholarship？我能找他们要么？
总之求论坛大大们系统地讲一下finacial support的问题。谢谢各位~~~~~~
