How to Pay for Grad School Without Financial Support!?
A discussion about student loans, student jobs, grants and the BIGGEST MISTAKES I made when trying to fund my PhD and understand my funding packages!
Hello Everyone! When I got accepted into UCLA, I was BEYOND excited. I didn’t know anyone with an advanced degree, but I knew I wanted one. As a result, I was over zealous and didn’t really think about what I should consider when thinking about funding my graduate program. I was so unaware of just how graduate financial support works and where it comes from. I made a lot of decisions that impacted my PhD funding and financial aid, some for the better but many for the worse. I wanted to make a video that really discussed how to fund a PhD, what are the MOST important things to consider when negotiating a funding package, and ways to prepare to help others like me who are completely unaware of what is the BEST way to pay for grad school. This video was years in the making, because all of these grad mistakes didn’t happen overnight! I learned from my many many financial decisions as a grad student and now I can talk about how I was able to afford my doctoral program, and how you can prepare to afford grad school!
