If you're an African student seeking a master's program in the USA, here are 5 universities with high acceptance rates and funding opportunities. I need you to get a book and a pen for this one. And before we get into it, I need to understand this. Acceptance rate is the percentage of applicants admitted. So for example, if a university receives 100 applications and admits 90, the university has a 90% acceptance rate. Now, these figures I'm about to mention are general, not for every master's program. Graduate admission requirements vary by department. With that said, number one, University of Southern Mississippi. The general acceptance rate is 99%. International students can compete for graduate assistantship that covers tuition, non-resident fee and a stipend. Number two, University of Mississippi. The general acceptance rate is 97%. International master's applicants can apply for departmental graduate assistantships offering stipends, 75% or 100% graduate tuition scholarships and full non-resident fee scholarships. Number three, University of Toledo with an acceptance rate of 92%. One third of graduate students receive some form of graduate assistantships. These may include tuition remissions and departmental stipends, 75% or 100% graduate tuition scholarships and full non-resident fee scholarships. Number four, University of Alabama (Birmingham) with an acceptance rate of 88%. Many master's programs offer competitive assistantships and fellowships that provide monthly stipends, sometimes covering tuition and health insurance. Availability varies by program, so contact your department directly. Number five, Kent State University with an acceptance rate of 86%. Assistantships are available in various departments. These may include full or partial tuition remissions and a monthly stipend. Also, understand that a high acceptance rate does not guarantee admission or funding. Graduate assistantships are competitive, limited and often awarded by individual departments. You'll need a strong academic record, relevant work experience, a good statement of purpose, and sometimes a separate assistantship application. Apply early, contact the department about available funding and confirm the assistantship deadline before submitting your application.
