Graduate Scholarships: In order to help students pay for college or career school, both nonprofit and private organizations offer scholarships. There are a variety of ways that graduate students can receive scholarships, ranging from merit-based to need-based. Furthermore, some graduate schools give scholarships to all incoming students while others offer scholarships to only a select few. It is important to note that you do not have to be a full-time student to receive a scholarship. Many schools will award financial aid to part-time students and visiting scholars.
Grants: Grants are a little more specialized and can require a little more initiative than scholarships, but they have the added advantage of counting on career growth, especially if you intend to move into an academic or research career. Again, start with your institution and aim for degree-oriented research or project grants. Many departments offer support for graduate students to complete advanced training, to fly for study, or to buy the materials or equipment required.
Fellowships: Fellowships can offer an opportunity in a particular field to receive free tuition. Often a fellowship can require you to work in a certain location or area for a short amount of time after graduation, but not often.
Assistantships: An assistantship or internship is one often overlooked means of supporting your graduate studies. Grad students who plan to conduct study or teaching assistant duties during their studies are given discounted or free tuition by certain universities. Although this will expand your duties during your study, after you’ve finished your degree, teaching or helping with research will be immensely useful. Take the time to review the assistant openings at your top alternatives before applying for graduate school, and don’t forget to explore some smaller, less well-known programs where competition for positions might be less rigorous, but the standard of scholarship is just as prestigious.
Loans: Student loans are a common way of paying for college/university. Student loans are federal or bank loans that aim to help students pay for a university education. Student loans in the US can be either subsidized or unsubsidized, depending on whether they are need-based or merit-based. The average student loan is around $30,000 (with the average yearly income being around $25,000) and you’ll see your payments begin within two weeks of signing the promissory note.
