我觉得那个scholarship基本把那个州内学费covere了吧，那个stipend貌似是ta 后面还有一些：Ifyou are selected to be a teaching assistant, you will be given a teachingassignment, once such assignments have been determined.
We will inform you of your specificassignment as soon as your specific assignment is known.

Because this is yourfirst appointment as a Graduate Assistant, you are required to demonstrate youreffectiveness in English speaking and comprehension skills for teachingundergraduates in a University of Iowa classroom before you are assignedteaching assistantship responsibilities.
The English as a Second Language (ESL) Programs Office will evaluateyour language skills for this purpose by administering two tests.
We will pre-register you for the first test;however, you must officially register for this test with the ESL Office, 1112 UniversityCapitol Centre, on Thursday, August 20, 2010.

Your first test will evaluate your general spoken English proficiency(SPEAK test).
The test is given in alanguage laboratory setting and recorded on audiotape.
If you score 50 or 55 on the SPEAK test, youwill take the English Language Performance Test (ELPT) to assess your languageproficiency in a classroom context. (If you score 60 on the SPEAK test, you areexempted from taking the ELPT and are fully certified.) For the ELPT, which isrecorded on videotape, you will make a brief presentation on a topic in yourdiscipline.
You will also be askedquestions during your presentation.
Theresults of these evaluations will determine whether you are assigned fullresponsibility for teaching a course, or whether you are conditionallycertified to teach discussion or lab sections, or to grade papers.
Those who are conditionally certified musttake appropriate English language courses (TAPE program) or be evaluatedfurther to become unconditionally certified.

谢谢，其实都不好意思发帖滴，地里的猛人太多了~

又帮你仔细的看了遍。你一楼贴了两段，到底是什么关系？它们内容重复了啊
根据你给的信息，我们可以知道：

offer you a half-time appointment as a Graduate Assistant
意思是给你1/2RA
This appointment carries a stipend of no less than $17,301.00 and a minimum scholarship of $7,224
1/2RA包括17,301的工资和7,224的scholarship（用来交学费，即你后面那段说的You will be awarded a tuition scholarship in the amount of no less than $3612.00 per semester (no less than $7,224 per academic year)）
The Graduate Assistant must pay student fees of $8,777.00 for the academic year 20010–11 for full-time graduate students in the Graduate College.
但是还得交8,777
The University will classify you as a resident for tuition purposes during the semesters you hold an appointment of 25% time or greater.
由于你是1/2RA>25%，所以享受州内学费待遇
Full-time resident tuition and mandatory fees for Graduate College students in 2010–11 is $8,777 per academic year.
州内学费是8,777（与你第一段说的student fees重复了，应该指的是tuition and fees总共8,777）
The computer fee of $313.50 per session is waived for students holding a 25% or greater assistantship.
313.5的计算机费不用交

综上所述，你拿的1/2RA包括了17301的工资+州内学费TW，不过还得交8777-7224=1553的其他fees。
. Waral dи,以上结论是由你给的信息得出的，未必准确。建议你再咨询一下小米这个8777和7224的关系～
