Q: I am a non-citizen. Am I eligible to apply?
A: The NSF which funds most of our students cannot be used for non-citizens. However, we may have other money around that can be so used. In addition some schools (yours perhaps?) have grants for this purpose where they would pay the stipend. We can often come up with money for the housing. In your statement of purpose explain your situtation as well as telling us about the projects you want to work on, etc. However, you must be attending a school in America.
Q: Is it okay if I apply, and get in, but then turn you down?
A: Yes! If we accept you we will give you a date you must decide by (which can be extended). Saying NO is FINE. Saying YES is FINE. Not responding is TERRIBLE!. Saying YES and then changing your mind to a NO is TERRIBLE.
