It's more expensive than undergrad, and most students can no longer count on mom and dad for financial support. Paying for Graduate School Without Going Broke, now in its second year, advises students on how to get the aid they need to attend the schools they want. With our exclusive EFC calculator and FAFSA Worksheet, we give expert tips on increasing student-aid eligibility, and our experts show how to find hidden funding resources."

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In 2007-08, about 3 million students were enrolled in graduate or first-professional degree programs in the United States. These students exhibited wide variation both demographically and in the types of programs and institutions they attended. They pursued degrees in all types of fields, from the physical and life sciences to the arts and humanities to law and medicine. Some worked while they were enrolled while others did not. How these students financed their graduate studies in 2007-08 is the focus of these Web Tables, which are divided into three sections: The tables in Section 1 include the types of financial aid received by graduate and first-professional students, shown by students' enrollment and demographic characteristics. This section includes the percentages of graduate students who received grants, loans, assistantships, or other types of aid and the average amounts they received. Tables in Section 2 show the percentage of graduate and first-professional students who received aid from federal, state, institutional, or private sources, along with the average amounts received from each source. These are also shown by enrollment and demographic characteristics. The tables in Section 3 are dedicated to employment among graduate students. The percentage of graduate and first-professional students who worked while enrolled, average hours worked per week, and the role in which students saw themselves (i.e., as students who work to meet expenses or as employees who study) are explored in this section. The estimates presented in these tables were generated from the 2007-08 National Postsecondary Student Aid Survey (NPSAS:08), a comprehensive, nationally representative survey of how students finance their postsecondary education conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). NPSAS also includes a broad array of demographic and enrollment characteristics. A glossary is included. (Contains 3 endnotes and 64 tables.).

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This ambitious book grows out of the realization that a convergence of economic, demographic, and political forces in the early twenty-first century requires a fundamental reexamination of the financing of American higher education. The authors identify and address basic issues and trends that cut across the sectors of higher education, focusing on such questions as how much higher education the country needs for individual opportunity and for economic viability in the future; how responsibility for paying for it is currently allocated; and how financing higher education should be addressed in the future.
