Financial Aid for Graduate School Students

Some people choose to go to school to open career doors; some people seem to go to school AS a career. Graduate students are some of the latter. It is difficult to remain in school for so long. The financial element is usually the most difficult part. Years and years of studies and loans might get you where you want to be career wise, but the average graduate student finishes school these days with $60,000- $70,000 of debt! It is DEFINITELY worth your while to pursue every avenue of financial aid available to you as a graduate student. The interest on student loans is difficult to pay off, let alone the actual principal. […]

Financial Aid for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Students

Students who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) face some additional challenges. Filling out basic information on standard forms can often be complicated. The first thing all students do when seeking financial aid is fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). This form asks if you are male or female; that seems like a simple question, but it is not an easy answer to everyone. Also, the biggest supporters of students are usually their parents. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender young adults are often not on good terms with their parents because of the gender identity and sexual orientation issues. […]

Financial Aid for Jewish Students

The Jewish community, like any community, strives to support its own members in order to ensure that beliefs and values are carried on. These communities tend to be more local than national. There is funding available, but when seeking financial aid from a Jewish community, you will likely need to apply to one in your own area and, ideally, to one which you are involved in. Below are some examples of the types of scholarships available to Jewish students. Some are for students who are scholars, some for students with financial need, and some for students who have experience and interest in volunteer work. Check online to see what is available specifically in your area and specifically to you. […]

Financial Aid for Older and Non-traditional Students

These days, you can attend college and university at any age, people don’t have one career but a few, and often older adults will return to school to complete a degree they began working towards as young adults. Experience is valuable, and often people are able to base their careers on their experience, but paper can be valuable too. It is becoming more and more common for people to go back to school for a diploma they need to further their career, or change careers perhaps. Older students and non-traditional students are becoming increasingly commonplace on campuses. […]

Financial Aid for Minority Students

Going to college is not easy. For many young adults, it is their initiation into the real world, and it can be a difficult transition. Compared to grade-school, the classes can be more difficult, with more challenging material to cover in less time, and with teachers who are less interested in helping you keep up. Social situations can catch you unprepared; the student body of a college or university is much more diverse than that of a high school. Oftentimes people say, “I wish I knew that when I was in college.” Whether they are talking about the amount of courses to take, which extracurricular activities to get involved in, or how to balance studying and socializing, college carries a learning curve for all and a steep one for many. […]

Financial Aid for Female Students

Certain scholarships are set aside especially for female students. Researching what is available and following up on every possibility of financial aid is worthwhile. The less debt you carry as a student, the easier your academic career will be. You will be less stressed and more able to focus on your studies knowing that you will have less student loan debt to deal with when you get out of school. It is also encouraging and inciting to know that there are people who want you to succeed; people who are putting dollars behind the desire to help you achieve your goals. […]

Financial Aid for Disabled Student

Going to college is a rewarding experience. Often, the more rewarding an experience is, the more costly it is. The United States, though, is filled with opportunities. Scholarships and grants are available to make higher education more affordable and available to everyone, including those with disabilities. Scholarships and grants are allotments of money given out to help students pay for college and university. They do not need to be paid back, the way student loans do. Scholarships and grants are given out on the basis of a student’s achievements, background, interests, qualities, needs, etc. Individual states participate in particular scholarship programs, so these vary from state to state. You can get information about financial aid and other resources at your school’s financial aid office, or you can do research online if you are still deciding which school to attend. […]

How to refinance student loans

You gain a great deal when you refinance student loans if you do it right. The lender you choose to refinance your loans essentially buys all of your loans from the original lenders and reissues you a new loan, leaving you with one loan for the total amount of loans consolidated. This may result in a smaller monthly payment with a longer repayment schedule and, subsequently, a lower risk of default. But you have to start by knowing what you can do. The best way to start do that is to do a current financial assessment. […]
