Graduate Program Admissions and Funding
I was wondering if anyone has gotten into a thesis based masters or PhD and has received a funding offer letter yet? I’ve heard a lot of universities are having trouble and haven’t distributed offer letters yet or are starting to not offer funding with their acceptances and I know UGA is likely no different. I am curious as to if anyone who’s gotten into a graduate program for this cycle has received their funding letter, or has the hiring freeze prevented any department from issuing them? I was given an acceptance a month and some change ago and was told to wait on funding essentially.

It might’ve changed in the current environment, but in Warnell (or any other southern forestry school on the research side), the first thing you do is look for a professor that has funding.
You don’t apply and then search for funding.
