Even with 330+, funding is still very difficult to obtain.

You should try and research on the various methods of obtaining funding in the US.

Examination scores (GRE, TOEFL, and GPA) are not very reliable in obtaining funding.

If you have relevant research/work experiences and/or skils, you should try to leverage them in obtaining departmental assistanships.

Or alternatively you can apply for PhD programs.

Finally, try and research schools, and departments, that have consistently given out aid in the past. Most schools will not change their policies for you - it is difficult to be an exception. To that end, you can look into Mississippi State University (TA availability) and the University of Cincinnati (University Graduate Scholarships).

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate how you guys have been so helpful.

sirRiddy:

You are on the right path, bro. Aim for PhD programs and spread your risks if you score at least 320 on the GRE. I am sure you will get into a good program.

Thanks bro.

OTUNBACODED:
is I possible for a student to get funding from another department?

Very possible

Too late for Fall 2016... You can try Spring 2017 or better still Fall 2017, Most Fall 2017 application would open by August and application to most decent schools are due by January/February.
Now let me speak the truth to you one which I learned the hard way, while your profile is decent it is by no means awesome and by awesome I mean Top 20/Top 50 awesome. Don't make selections like University of Texas, Austin, University of Notre dame , Vanderbilt University and feel you have applied... Spread your risks I am not telling you not to aim high but be realistic.
If you can write another GRE do so, 307 is not that awesome. That been said many schools offer assistantship for Environmental science/engineering. Wish you all the best

@pennstate. Mainly WasteWater treatment, waste management, recycling, bioremediation and other forms of remediations, general pollution control. I can comfortably fit into any of these research areas

No one will give nor offer any names... Start from Alaska and work your way down to Wyoming , you will find a school ... Come to think of it both Universities of Alaska Fairbanks and Wyoming have strong environmental sciences program.... Bros go and do your research

Good advice. I did similar. I also checked wikipedia. They have a list of all the research universities in USA. And I went through the websites of about 200 schools. It was a very time consuming (2 months) and sometimes frustrating process, but it helped.
