I’m curious why this is an “important point,” given that the student merely asked about how grad students find assistantships.

It’s important because it means that some grants, fellowships, and assistantships are only available to U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

I would like to add, though, that some funding does come directly from universities and departments. Sometimes departments/universities fund special fellowships for doctoral students. Those students are not funded directly by professors, in that case.
