While less common than undergraduate scholarships, scholarships for graduate students are available. Graduate students rely heavily on fellowships or assistantships-especially in high-need areas like nursing or teaching-but these arenât available to everyone and donât always cover a graduate studentâs living expenses.
Because funds are limited, many students are not awarded grants or scholarships and must use loans to cover educational expenses. Loans are borrowed money that must be repaid with interest. Undergraduate and graduate students, as well as parents of undergraduate students, may apply for loans.
