somemom-
Our son, attending grad school in fall, contacted the FA office of his school to ask about ANY kind of needs based aid. He was given a large talent award based on audition but wanted to see if he could pick up workstudy or loans if necessary, to help with room,board.

The FA folks told him that “there is no work study for grad students”. Don’t know if he understood what was said exactly or if this is school specific.
Anyway, he will pick up gigs or other work to compensate.
