]]> Comment on Where can I search for grad school financial aid? by recentgradtrish http://www.calculateyourgpa.com/financial-aid/where-can-i-search-for-grad-school-financial-aid/comment-page-1/#comment-2123 recentgradtrish Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:18:12 +0000 http://www.calculateyourgpa.com/financial-aid/where-can-i-search-for-grad-school-financial-aid/#comment-2123 You have two main options: student loans and grants/scholarships. The best type of student loan to get is a federal government loan. Here's what you need to do to get one: 1) Fill out the FAFSA. This will determine if you are eligible for financial aid. Go here: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ 2) Once you are eligible for aid, choose a government-based student loan. The best loan to get is a Federal Perkins Loan. These have low interest rates and the government will help you pay it back as long as you stay enrolled in school. You also don't need a cosigner or good credit for it. For more info go here: http://www.studentfinancedomain.com/student_loans/perkins_student_loans.aspx 3) The next best loan to get is a Subsidized Stafford Loan. This has many of the same benefits as a Perkins Loan. Learn more here: http://www.studentfinancedomain.com/student_loans/subsidized_stafford_loan.aspx You can also try to get a grant or scholarship, which is free money that you won't have to pay back. You can read about them here: http://www.studentfinancedomain.com/financial_aid/college_scholarship.aspx And here are some good sites that offer grants and scholarships: http://www.fedmoney.org/ http://www.freegovmoney.net/ http://www.grants.gov/ http://www.findtuition.com/scholarships/ http://apps.collegeboard.com/cbsearch_ss/welcome.jsp http://www.educationplanner.com/education_planner/paying_article.asp?sponsor=2859&articleName=Grants_and_Scholarships http://www.studentawards.com/ http://www.college-scholarships.com/ Good luck!

First, you could become a graduate or research assistant at the school because it will pay for your tuition along with a stipend depending on the school. Second, the FAFSA form could bring money because the amount will be based on your income solely instead of your parents' income being included too. Finally, you could join some more scholarship search websites, but the number of scholarships for grad school is limited. I have included some resource websites below. Good luck!

However, if your academics are on the high side of the ranges for the school, they may give you some merit aid, although there is no guarantee of that. Most people fund their law school entirely via loans. You'll likely do the same.

There are other schools that offer the Combined Degree program if you intend to pursue a PhD/MD. The main web site is the Association of American Medical Colleges (www.aamc.org). The site has a tremendous amount of information for the potential med student. I’ve posted the web page that lists all of the US med schools that offered the Combined Degree program for a BS/MD.

It's just like if you want to get a high school diploma, you have to go to high school... you won't get one from elementary school. You should check out what the FBI is looking for when they recruit agents. You do not need a graduate degree, but a college degree is required. Check out this link: http://www.fbijobs.gov/11.asp And finally - no. Grad schools do not look at your SAT scores. Graduate schools look at different types of scores depending on the program you're looking into. The most common is the GRE, but if you were going to business school, they'd be looking at the GMAT, etc. If you want to get a Masters, you have to go to graduate school.
