TTU发来邮件，请问是个ad吗？

申请的2019fall EE的PHD。TTU今天发来邮件（具体全文内容见最后），说是研究生院同意录取了，但是全文没有奖学金的事，也没有任何附件。然后就要求我提交I-20相关材料（特别是财力证明）。我去学校官网查，上面说具体资金支持找学院咨询，并且具体奖学金的通知可能会在开学前才公布（这...这是买福袋吗？先接受了AD，再等着开学前抽奖？）。求大佬，特别是了解TTU的大佬们看看，这是AD还是有别的操作。

（全文如下，希望我已经把个人信息删除干净了）
We are pleased to inform you that the Dean of Texas Tech University Graduate School has approved your admission to Texas Tech University!

Before a final admission and an I-20 can be issued, you are required to submit the following items:

1.Proof of Financial Support – you must provide proof of liquid assets in the amount of $20,537. All financial statements must be in U.S. dollars and must be no more than six months old. You must also include an affidavit of support if the financial support will come from someone other than yourself. The amount of funding listed on your I-20 includes the tuition and fees for 18 hours (9 hours per long semester), the living expenses for one year, as well as the mandatory medical insurance.  Actual cost of attendance will vary based on hours taken per semester and additional course-and program-specific fees.  It is your responsibility to confirm with your department how many hours you will be required to take each semester and plan accordingly.

2.A completed Supplemental International Student Information form. You must sign and submit this form with an indication of your shipping preference. There are two options available for the mailing of your I-20:
(1)eShipGlobal Express mail service at YOUR expense – with a delivery time of 3-5 business days and shipment tracking. If you choose this option, please visit the eShipGlobal website for more information and instructions. We highly recommend this shipping option due to track ability and timeliness in arrival. If you choose this option, please go ahead and create & pay for your label on the eShipGlobal website and make sure you use “Graduate School” as the sender. HOWEVER, if you live in IRAN or another embargoed country, eShipGlobal uses FedEx & UPS and it will not ship directly to IRAN/embargoed countries.  If you have a family member or friend not in IRAN/an embargoed country willing to ship it by way of a courier that will go directly to IRAN/an embargoed country, we will be happy to ship it to a friend or family member either through eShipGlobal or regular mail.  We realize time is of the essence with the potential visa timeframe.
(2)Regular airmail at no expense – with a delivery time of 4-12 weeks, depending on your location. With this shipping method there is no tracking available.
(3)Please select only one shipping preference.  An I-20 will NOT be issued unless this form is returned to us.  This form must be submitted by email attachment to your admission evaluator. Once we receive your shipping preference and the I-20 has been mailed, you will be unable to change the shipping method for us to re-send. Please choose your shipping preference wisely.
A completed Supplemental Dependent Information Form if you plan to bring a spouse and/or children. Do not submit this form if you will not bring any dependents. Please note that you will be required to submit additional proof of financial support for each dependent you bring, which will change the amount of funding required for your I-20.
A copy of your Passport biographical page – Your name on your I-20 MUST be exactly as it appears on your passport, so you must also submit include your passport bio page if you have not already done so.

Please read the Initial Attendance I-20 page on our website, which should answer many of your questions regarding your acceptance, I-20 issuance, and financial assistance. Please direct your specific questions regarding financial assistance and/or research or teaching positions to your prospective department.

Your report date on your I-20 will depend on the term to which you have been admitted. Please visit the Initial Attendance I-20 page of our website for the current list of report dates. You can arrive up to 30 days prior to this date, but you cannot arrive after this date. It is critical that you are able to arrive by this date and attend any required orientation. We will NOT be able to provide a late arrival letter for you.

Please email the completed forms and any additional documentation directly to your admission evaluator by email attachment.  This will expedite the process.  You do not need to mail hard copies to our office.

There is not a specific deadline for which to turn in the attached forms.  However, we recommend strongly that you turn in the needed materials as soon as possible.  The closer it gets to the semester, the more difficult it is to get a visa appointment and make travel arrangements.

Please notify us if you are not planning to attend Texas Tech University Graduate School. Pre-arrival information for new incoming international students will be available online. We also recommend that you view our “I’ve Been Admitted-Now What?” webpage for all newly admitted graduate students.

Access to graduate education is reserved for students who have demonstrated uncommon scholastic ability at the undergraduate level.  Moreover, we believe that these students show great promise for further academic achievement.  Accordingly, your admission to the Texas Tech University Graduate School is a pivotal event in your professional development, and we welcome you to our community of scholars. Please accept our congratulations on your admission, and we look forward to meeting you soon!

These forms, plus any financial support documents you may need to submit, must ONLY be submitted via .PDF email attachment. Please send your documents as a reply to this email only.

Sincerely,

Graduate Admissions
