<p>Hello,
Can someone pls shed some light? I was told that FA would not be granted for a lateral move. Can someone confirm this? I was thinking of getting two masters. Would that still qualify as a lateral move even if they are in unrelated fields? please advise. Thanks!</p>
<p>You need to contact the institution(s) where you would pursue your master(s) degree(s) to find out about their financial aid policies. There may or may not be scholarships, or teaching/research assistantships available. Most likely, the only aid available will be loans.</p>
<p>Thank you for your help.</p>
<p>What do you mean by a “lateral move”? Do you already have a BS?</p>
<p>anyway…there usually isn’t “need-based aid” for grad degrees. Some grad degrees offer merit aid, but some don’t.</p>
<p>What area are you seeking a degree?</p>
