 TITLE: How to Pay for Grad School CONTENT: Research Fellowships, Assistantships and Scholarships\n-----------------------------------------------------\nBorrowing money isn't the only way to pay for graduate school. Many private and public universities offer research and teaching assistantships for graduate students. You'll assist a professor by teaching classes or conducting research in exchange for tuition reimbursement and an annual living stipend. In addition to helping you finance your degree, these part-time positions can also provide valuable experience in your chosen field.\nThere are even ways to secure money you don't have to work for or pay back that will help you pay for school. Think that sounds too good to be true? Many of the schools on your list likely offer grants, fellowships or scholarships. As you might expect, fellowships, scholarships and grants are highly competitive, so start your research and application process early. If you've found the assistance opportunities offered through your school lacking, do some research online and apply for additional graduate school fellowships and scholarships from other organizations.
