Is it possible for me, while an MFM student, to get a TAship or RAship in Mathematics or in another department, and to use the tuition benefit from that assistantship to cover MFM tuition?
No, I’m afraid that that will not work. The tuition benefit goes to the college and not to the MFM program, and so could not be used to cover the expenses of the program. Even the college of IT (in which the MFM program resides) has said that it will not use the money from graduate assistantship tuition benefits to cover MFM expenses. This is in keeping with the philosophy that MFM is a professional program that is supposed to stand apart from the regular educational initiatives of any specific college.
