Graduate Financial Aid

A blog about how to pay for graduate school

12.01.06 | Can You Afford Graduate School?

Posted in Uncategorized by Lee Anne Hannula

I have a lot of friends who are sort of in that limbo status….they got their undergraduate degree a few years ago, and they feel stuck in their current job. In order to move on to better things they need more education. I am always hearing concern about whether graduate school is affordable or not. How will I live and go to school at the same time? This is where the private graduate school loan can help. This loan is unique because it is geared towards graduate students, so it meets all of your needs. It can be used to cover tuition, or just living expenses, or both. There are different types of these loans, and some of them do not have any origination fees. What I suggest to my friends is to figure out how much you will need to borrow, and then work out a budget, so that you know you will be able to afford the monthly payment on those loans once you are finished with the graduate program.

    It truly is a nightmare for young people and their parents to trawl through this bureaucratic system. So much for the college fund.
