Hello all! I’m considering grad school, I’m just not sure how to pay for it. Did you file FAFSA? If not, how come and where do you suggest I go for aid instead?
schools may require FAFSA for federal loans. But its a simple form since you are considered independent, so no parental info required. And if you have zero income/assets…
MA/MS programs are cash cows for a Uni. Some will enable you to earn money by TA or Research, but those positions are limited in number. Otherwise, expect to self-pay, either by your own cash or GradPlus loans.
Good PhD programs are fully funded. Do not attend a PhD program that is not fully funded.
What kind of graduate school are you considering?
