<p>I know a lot of students in science/engineering fields receive fundings and scholarship from school at Graduate school. </p>
<p>What about Law school or Business school? Do you get scholarship often? How easily do people pursue graduate school with scholarship?</p>
<p>thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Most graduate school “money” is awarded due to your academic merit. There really isn’t “need based” aid for grad school. It comes in the form of graduate assistantships, scholarships for merit…and student loans. </p>
<p>Re: law school. Yes, there is some aid for law school…but my impression from those who I know is that it is not particularly plentiful. In addition, you need to know that SOME (not all…but some) law schools will STILL require your parents’ financial information on your FAFSA and financial aid application forms.</p>
<p>Everyone I know who pursued an MBA got it on their own dime.</p>
<p>I have a son who is a junior in college…majoring in Math. He’d like to go to grad school, but would need some kind of academic merit scholarship. He is straight A’s…He also has 2 minors. </p>
<p>How do we find out which universities give merit $ for grad school?</p>
<p>No, business and law schools are much harder to get aid for than undergrad. Some schools give a little but it’s primarily loans for most.</p>
<p>They figure you’re in line for a high salary. IMO, only borrow for a top one or one known to place well at jobs you’d be happy with.</p>
<p>Actually I had a full merit scholarship to CWRU for my MBA. That was some time ago but their website indicates that they still give merit aid:

<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>mom2collegekids,</p>
<p>Generally speaking, a Ph.D. candidate in a science, engineering, or math who is not awarded full support, is not good enough to pursue that degree and get a job in that field. Some students in these areas who pursue a terminal Master’s degree end up doing it on their own dime. If your son is serious about pursuing an advanced degree, the faculty at his current school should be able to advise him on good places to apply. You could also take a look at the Grad School forum here for more ideas. Click on “Discussion Home” in the upper left of this screen and then scroll down to find it.</p>
<p>As for MBA funding, some schools do offer merit aid to incoming students, or support in the form of research or teaching assistantships. Teaching assistantships usually go to second year students who did very well in that particular course. Potential MBA students need to research each institution to find out what might be available for them.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice…I think you’re exactly right about what you wrote. Thanks</p>
