I am going to start my MBA July of 2010. I do not have an income so I am hoping to get a little extra when I apply for my FAFSA. Are there any other grants that I can try and get to help with the cost of schooling. I received my Bachelor's in Business Admin with a minor in Marketing.

thanks.

Federal grants such as the Pell are for undergrad students only. Once you have a Bachelors you are no longer eligible for these grants or for federal WS. As far as FAFSA and federal aid is concerned you are eligible for loans.

You would have to check with your school to see if they have any sort of institutional aid you would be eligible for.

Similarly, institutional aid is limited for graduate students. They expect you to utilize your degree and earn a reasonable salary.

At the public U where I work, we have no institutional funding for grad students. Our students who do get money other than loans are TA's or have fellowships. This is done through the department, not through financial aid.

Grad students can get work study, although it's usually pretty limited. Schools decide how to allocate their pool of work study funding. Second bachelors students CANNOT get work study, though.
