Financial support does exist for graduate study, but seeking it out demands persistent and comprehensive research and follow-up on your part. The best sources of information about financial aid are often the universities to which you are applying. Also, refer to guides on the Internet, which identify strategies and sources for financing your education. Write to your prospective department about assistantships, fellowships, and scholarships, as well as to the financial aid office about work-study, student loans, and other assistance options. Contact national, state or local chapters of professional associations, unions, corporations, banks – many of these organizations offer financial assistance to students.
