Dude! Money?

So I got my letter from Texas today. And it says pretty much exactly the same thing as the e-mail, except that it is from a different person. So, that is to say that doesn't actually offer me any incentive to go there. So what do i do next? E-mail the guy back and say "look, if I am going to horribly indebt myself to get a PhD, it isn't going to be in Texas, so cough up an actual offer?" That seems a little extreme. I mean, it has always been my *assumption* that they tend to make these offers when they send out the acceptance letter, and that it wouldn't be the sort of thing they only tell you after. On the other hand, my records show that that's how ECU did it. I guess I will e-mail them, but I'm just not really sure what to say.

Meh.

It's been a meh week. Oh, wait, it's only Tuesday.
Mood:: 'tired' tired

Schools differ in terms of policy. Some may offer no financial commitments right away. Some of them offer a handful of scholarships up-front, but in fact there is plenty of money to go around, but just isn't distributed until closer to the date (e.g., TAships and RAships). My instinct is that unless they tell you in your letter 'there is no money', that there is money, but how much and in what form I couldn't say.

A well-worded email is not out of place, however, at this point, just inquiring about funding! If you make them aware that you have other options (no need to name names) and are looking to make the best decision with your financial future in mind, no one will fault you. The worst they can say is 'no'.

Yeah, I know all this, I just don't feel like dealing with it, or much of anything, right now :p

Oh! Oh! I'm in a letter writing mood, can I write it? I promise their won't be any expletives or making fun of them for being in Texas!
