Someone recently asked me about funding for a PhD/doctoral degree and the question was...
"What's the best way to get funding and scholarships for a PhD/Doctoral degree?"
Here's my answer...
Your best bet would be to contact each university directly to ask about their specific funding, scholarship, and fellowship opportunities for PhD candidates.
It’s worth mentioning that if you plan on getting a PhD in any of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math) Fields at a university in the United States then you most probably won’t have to worry about funding. Most of these programs fully fund their PhD students for 5 years, but of course there are always exceptions so make sure you do your research. Many PhD programs also allow students to get a Masters degree while they are working towards getting a PhD (these types of combined Masters and PhD programs usually last for 5 years or more).
When it comes to getting a PhD in the United States, the hardest part is actually getting admitted into a program. After you’re admitted, the university/department usually funds you and fully takes care of your costs to attend the university. A PhD student’s tuition is usually covered and she/he is usually given a living stipend/salary as long as she/he provides intellectual labor via teaching and research assistantships.
