@AdamAhlgrim Many years ago I had a stipend for my PhD in London. Stipends tend not to be much to live on here either although they are very competitive. Some universities here waiver tuition fees if you are a member of staff. If that’s the case in the US too this could be an option.

We assemble Into tribes based on politics, religion, skin color, language, education, birthplace, wealth, & gender expression. Yet COVID-19 reminds us we’re all the same.
