Scholarship grants by field
Grants and scholarships are the most desirable types of funding you can receive to pay for your college education, since they don't need to be repaid. While any amount of free money will be competitive, especially in a tough economic climate, the sooner and more often you apply the more luck you'll have.
Graduate school scholarship search sites
Your department head and university financial aid officers are good sources of information about scholarships for which you might be eligible. But it doesn't hurt to do a little searching on your own.
Be careful: Many so-called scholarships are little more than marketing schemes. And beware of any scholarship that requires you to pay for a chance to be considered.
Graduate Plus Loans
Graduate Plus Loans:
It's a federally guaranteed loan that can be used to cover the full costs of graduate school, including reasonable living costs.
Who can get Graduate PLUS loans?
Anyone who is a U.S. citizen, enrolled in a graduate program at least half time, and has minimally acceptable credit is eligible. Some non-degree programs, such as some teacher certificate courses, do not qualify for PLUS loans. Students must first exhaust Stafford loan eligibility before getting a Grad PLUS loan.
