Financing Your Degree:

As part of your school research process, look into the financing options available, such as:

• Assistantships – Paid, part-time employment that may include tuition waivers
• Fellowships – Based on academic achievement
• Loans – Low interest loans are available to most graduate students
• Grants and Scholarships – Gifts of money, typically with no obligation for work or repayment, but may be linked to an academic discipline or project

Financial aid packages, based on both merit and need, are first come, first served.  It is to your advantage to
submit your application early.

Be aware that some schools and some programs limit the amount of time students may work so that they
concentrate on academic success.
