Graduate Students... help please!

<p>Soooo I finally made it, I'm graduating this summer with my Bachelor's. It's so crazy how fast time passed - just four years ago I was on this very same forum asking about my chances of getting into UCF. I already put in my application for one of UCF's graduate program and have been pretty optimistic about an acceptance.</p>

<p>My main question for graduate students (or parents of), is how did you/your child find the funding for graduate school? Does UCF offer any kind of financial aid package for graduate students? I've been searching everywhere and have come to the conclusion that I will have to pay every cent out of pocket or take loans, and it's a terrifying thought. Is there something I'm missing? </p>

<p>Edit - Also, is there anything different from being a graduate student vs an undergrad at UCF?</p>
