Regarding fellowships, research assistantships, or teaching assistantships: unfortunately, there are more Master’s students than opportunities. While a position might be available, you should expect to at least pay for all of your first year of study. While in your first year, you can look for financial support, but no guarantees can be provided. The University of Michigan establishes standard student budgets each year to help students plan how they will pay for their graduate program. Students admitted to the PhD program will be offered a full funding package.

An MOI letter is an official document from your previous university confirming that your degree programme was taught in English. It is used as proof of English proficiency in place of IELTS or TOEFL scores.
UK sanctuary-university scholarships (Cara, UNHCR-linked programmes), DAAD EPOS, and several Turkish government scholarships explicitly list MOI as an accepted alternative. Some Erasmus Mundus programmes also accept MOI letters for students from English-medium institutions.
Yes, if your prior degree (or significant coursework) was delivered in English. Palestinian students from universities in the West Bank, Gaza, or Jordan that teach in English are typically eligible to request an MOI letter.
No — MOI is one form of English-test alternative. Some programmes still require a minimum grade or an interview alongside the letter. Always check the specific conditions on each scholarship's detail page.
