I'm going to be a junior this fall and I've started to think about grad school. I have a general idea of what I want to study (journalism or education) and a few ideas about where (probably in-state at Kansas/KState or perhaps somewhere in Texas).

I test well. My grades are fine but not spectacular, though I've been improving significantly.

But here's the thing. I'm taking on quite a bit of debt just to finish my bachelor's, and I've promised myself I won't take on more to get my master's.

I know none of you can predict my future, but here's my question: Is it possible to pay for a master's degree without taking out loans (and without help from your parents)?

Anyone making it work with scholarships/GTA positions/something?

Btw, my mom is disabled so I qualify for the maximum aid available. I just don't know what's available.
