Graduate School Grants/Scholarships/financial aid?

We Answered:

Hello there,

If I were you, I would grab myself a book with a list of all the scholarships from my local library and see what you are eligible for. It wont hurt you to apply for as many scholarships as you possibly can.

Ok I am not sure where you are out in the financial aid process.

Fill out your FASFA form online (www.fafsa.ed.gov). Add all the schools that you intend to attend on your FASFA. Different schools have different deadlines to have your FASFA submitted. The earlier you submit your FASFA the better so that you can meet the deadline for all the schools. You must obey your school's deadline not the federal deadline for your state. The school receives money from the FED and they prepare a financial aid package for all the students that meet their deadline and that are accepted. The student package consist of scholarship, Stafford and Perkin loans, Grad Plus loan. This all depends on your family's expected contribution toward your education. Whatever amount extra that you need you have to get a private student loan which is credit base. Your parents could also take a student loan on your behalf. Try Discover student loans as one of the private lenders. Your school should have a list of all the lenders that offers private student loans. Good Luck !!!!

Also, I am not sure what you plan on studying in graduate school. There are so many graduate fellowships that are field specific.
