Many friends who plan to take the graduate school entrance examination, or friends who are already prospective graduate students, are more curious about whether they can be financially independent when they go to graduate school after graduating from university?
Because many of my friends are about 22 years old after graduating from college, and their peers such as classmates who are not admitted to graduate school and are directly employed have also supported themselves, they are no longer embarrassed to ask their parents for money.
So, I want to know if there is any income for graduate school?
Is it possible to achieve economic independence?
Today, I will write an article to share with you the financial resources and details of graduate school.
First of all, it is necessary to understand that graduate students are no longer students in the full sense of the word, and graduate student ID cards are no longer discounted for tourist attractions. During graduate school, there were also many people who called their mentors their bosses behind their backs.
This is because, during graduate school, graduate students have to work part-time for their supervisors, that is, the projects that the supervisor receives need students to do. Do things for tutors, some tutors are good, and they will send corresponding money to students, so call the tutor the boss.
This is one of the financial sources for graduate school, and this income is not stable, mainly depending on the number of projects of the supervisor and the quality of the supervisor.
Secondly, many colleges and universities will have scholarships, which are also the main source of income for graduate students.
The amount and percentage of the scholarship will vary depending on the institution you choose.
The editor takes his own school as an example to introduce:
In my university, the graduate students who are admitted will have an entrance scholarship of 10K in the first semester of graduate school, and only 8K for the transfer students, which is in the graduate student card issued in the first semester of the first semester of the graduate school.
In the first semester of the second year of graduate school, the study, scientific research, competition, social practice and other conditions of graduate students in the past year (the first academic year of graduate students) will be evaluated, that is, according to the comprehensive evaluation and award manual published by the school (this evaluation rules are different from school to school, you must understand in advance after admission, and prepare in advance according to the evaluation rules), and distribute the first, second and third class scholarships according to the evaluation results.
My school scholarship is full coverage: first-class scholarship 12K (the first 20% of graduate students can get a first-class scholarship), second-class scholarship 10K (middle 40%), and third-class scholarship 8K (bottom 40%). Full scholarship coverage means that every graduate student has a scholarship, but each person will receive a scholarship according to their grades.
In the first semester of the second year of graduate school, the scholarship will be evaluated according to the performance of graduate students in the first academic year. In the first semester of the third year of graduate school, the graduate students will be evaluated based on their performance in the second academic year. There are no academic scholarships for the third year.
The reason why I emphasize the full coverage of scholarships here is that there are many universities that do not have full coverage of scholarships, but have a "pyramid structure", which means that some universities only have some of the top graduate students who can get scholarships. This requires everyone to go to the school where you are applying for graduate school, and check the official website of the corresponding school research recruitment website to check the "policy of recruiting graduate students of the school you are applying for", which will have relevant policies for graduate scholarships, and there will be tuition fees, dormitories and dormitory fees for graduate students in the mid-term, etc., this must be checked, because at present, some colleges and universities cannot even provide dormitories for graduate students, resulting in students can only rent a room for graduate school.
In addition to academic scholarships, there will also be outstanding graduate students (three good) scholarships, outstanding student cadre scholarships, municipal government scholarships and grants, etc., as well as national scholarships. If you want to get a national scholarship, you should carefully plan your graduate school life at the beginning of your graduate studies, publish more articles, and prepare early.
In addition, many graduate students will say that they are "poor households" on the Internet or in chats, and they receive subsistence allowances to live.
The subsistence allowance here is the living allowance given by the state to graduate students, which is paid for 10 months a year, 0.6K per month.
For this subsidy, some schools issue 600 meters once a month, and some schools distribute it once a year (6K directly).
Some schools, due to different supervisors, will apply for an additional graduate subsidy for students on the basis of the 600 subsistence allowance, which is 800 per month in October of a year, but many graduate students do not receive this subsidy. There are three reasons why they can't receive it, one is that many tutors and students don't know, the second is that the tutor will not take the initiative to apply for the student (because it is not beneficial to himself), and the third is that some tutors have a very poor character and swallow it privately (some tutors only swallow part of it, that is, ask students to give some of it to the tutor).
This is the third source of income for graduate students, and everyone has a minimum allowance, a total of 18K for three years.
Finally, you can do part-time jobs in your free time, or participate in part-time positions set up by the school, or go to internships to get wages during winter and summer vacations, and if you know how to manage money, you can also make financial investments to obtain income (click here to jump to the article: Learn financial management from scratch and see the essence of investment!). How can I achieve financial independence during my three years of graduate school in Hangzhou? ）。
This income varies from person to person, as each person's abilities and interests are different.
Some people can earn a lot of money by going to graduate school as a graduate school teacher or teaching assistant after they go ashore. Xiaobian has been a professional course teacher in several postgraduate examination institutions, and later he also opened his own classes to teach postgraduate examination theory professional courses and postgraduate entrance examination re-examination (focusing on mock interviews) classes. When helping many younger students to go ashore, they not only earn money, achieve financial independence, but also have a sense of achievement.
Some people will participate in the three assistant positions set up by the school, working part-time for one or two days a week or a few half-days, and then have a salary, as an economic supplement, which also varies from school to school, and you need to understand it clearly in advance.
There are also people who take advantage of the winter and summer vacations to go to part-time jobs or internships, which not only prepare for employment after graduation, but also understand the society in advance and earn some money. But internships and part-time jobs during the winter and summer vacations are not something that all graduate students can do. Because many graduate students do not have summer vacations, and the winter vacation is also very short, this depends on the supervisor chosen for graduate school. In addition, some master's supervisors do not allow students to go to internships. Prospective graduate students need to understand these things in advance, and it is very important to choose a supervisor!
As for how to choose a supervisor, I wrote an article on choosing a supervisor before (click here to jump to the article: How do graduate students choose and contact a master's supervisor, and which supervisor is better to choose?). Attached email and other templates), you can take a look.
If you calculate according to the editor's school, and the scholarship you get is a first-class scholarship, not counting the "other types of scholarships" and "money from the tutor", and not counting the income from part-time jobs and internships, then during the graduate school, you can get a total of 600×10×3 + 10000 + 12000×2 = 52000 yuan
That's all the financial resources for graduate school!
I wish all my friends who want to go to graduate school can go ashore smoothly!
I also hope that everyone can achieve financial independence and have a happy and successful graduate degree.
