Financial Aid for Grad School

[missjeff]

I'm curious how is everybody paying for Grad School. I was not aware that you could not use a Pell Grant for Grad School. I was trying not to add to much on my already HIGH student loans. Does anyone have anygood websites for finding out about Graduate Financial Aid?

I recieve a SHITLOAD of money from financial aid....waaaaay more than I did in undergrad. Go and talk to the financial aid dept at school and they'll tell you what to do.

Your financial aid office should be setting up a loan package for you - also, if the school really wants you, they'll offer grants.

can graduate students get anything else besides loans from the government?

Scholarships, grants, assistanships, all from the school.

I'm assuming you AREN'T in engineering/sciences, because typically in those programs tuition is waived and you get a stipend in addition.

Tell your school you need more money. If they want you, they'll find the money.

No, I'm in Counselor Education. I was just reading on one of the colleges websites and it said that Pell Grants were only for undergrad's. I'm trying to get as much free money as I can.

I figure to be working to pay off my degree until probably around 2020.
