Assistant Scholarship is a kind of scholarship awarded to applicants by American universities.

Teaching assistant (TA): A teaching assistant, usually 1/2, attends classes, corrects homework, corrects papers, and organizes undergraduate discussions. They usually work 20 hours a week and their tasks are relatively fixed. 1/2 means that you only need to work 20 hours a week (full-time work is 40 hours a week, and 20 hours is exactly 1/2). If you want to be a TA, but you haven't passed the TSE exam, the general school will give you TA training in advance. Generally, you are required to enter school earlier than others, but this training is also paid by the school, so don't worry.

Regarding TA, it is definitely taxable. According to the agreement between China and the United States on scholarships for international students, the first $5,000 of your salary for one year is tax-free, and the rest is subject to federal tax.

National tax and local tax, although the requirements of each state are different, are generally at least 15%. But by the end of the year, because students belong to low-income groups, according to American law, part of the tax refund is about half of the tax you paid.

TA: terminal equipment connected to ISDN.

The role of TA is to make existing non-ISDN standard terminals (such as analog phones, G3 fax machines, sub-devices and PCs) run on ISDN, and provide ISDN services for users on existing terminals. TA device also provides an interface for connecting PC, which is similar to an external modem, and provides 64K/ 128K digital channels for PC. The difference between TA and ISDN card is just like the difference between external modem and internal modem. The external is TA, and the internal is ISDN card.
