Re: Paying for Grad School
Jezz- talk about dupes!
I’m in accounting-
Re: Paying for Grad School
I just worked 2 f-t jobs to pay my way through the first year and then working f-t in plus a couple of scholarships and student bursaries helped in 2nd year. In business school, we had a few case competitions, project incubators etc. and these helped too.
In Canada, you can also apply for research grants from various Govt. agencies.
It depends a lot on your school and how much funding they get for supporting grad studies... there's of course student loans that you can get from a bank at near prime rates.

Re: Paying for Grad School
I dont know, but I was offered like a 2 yr scholarship in my undergrad. I didnt even apply for it ...it just came in the mail ...it was like only for the school fee though and was from the University. Anyway I had to let it go cuz of some personal reasons..
I have also heard that research is one of the best bets to get a scholarship from your own University...Did you talk to the scholarship guys yet....
And Muniya...! Accounting...wah ji...u must be a walking human calculator huh!!!:D
Re: Paying for Grad School
Muniya, how the hell did you get a 4.0 GPA? I'll pay for your grad school if you sell me your brain. Rent?
Re: Paying for Grad School
^^ I have no life my husband works long hours and I'm a nerd.
And besides I've been working as an accountant for 3 years now - these classes are things that I do on an everyday basis. :)
Thanks everyone else for you help.
Re: Paying for Grad School
The best way is to go thru your department.
They have a complete list of scholarships available for your discipline.
Apart from that, graduate sudents get GAships, and that is actually enought to pay off a semester fee. In my case, we are required to do at most 4 GAships, so atleast fours semesters are covered. Then there are so many other scholarships that are available to CS students thru department and also in summer, many supervisors give summer scholarships to work in their labs and research.
Re: Paying for Grad School
^^ thats a really good idea too
thanks
Re: Paying for Grad School
Muniya I dunno if anyone has mentioned this before or not but you should check for teaching/research assistantship..I am a graduate student and I am a TA, it's only 10 hours a week job but that covers my fees, health insurance, dental/vision, as well as I get hefty hourly pay. I am not paying even a penny for my Masters. :-)
If you are doing your grad school at the same uni where you got your bachelor from then knowing the professors and being a TA for an undergrad class won't be a problem otherwise you have to go through a few tests etc.
good luck :-)
