<p>Ok…I am starting my final and last semester of my Master’s degree this fall.</p>
<p>My question is, can I get 20,500 placed into that one semester or will it have to still be split up as 10,250? I am not returning in the spring as I will be graduating in December. However, I will desperately need the added funds for moving costs, testing that pertains to my profession, etc.</p>
<p>Yes, you can have all $20,500 in one semester, as long as the Cost of Attendance (COA) for the semester is greater than or equal to the sum of all aid for that semester. If the only aid you are getting is the loan, and if the annual COA is at least $41,000, you can get all $20,500 in one semester. Otherwise, you can only get the single-semester COA amount. You will need to talk to your financial aid office to arrange.</p>

Many employers would provide money for new hire to relocate.</p>
<p>Is on campus rent, books, utilities factor into the Cost of Attendance? </p>
<p>4kidsdad, unfortunately, I got my M.Div. degree. We are nicknamed the unwanted ■■■■■■■ children of graduate degrees. Longest Masters vs any other program (120 credits) and the least financially rewarding. However, I took the degree in forms of social justice, non profits, etc.</p>
<p>Sadly, churches are not very accommodating as most other secular corporate jobs.</p>
<p>COA includes estimates for living expenses. If you log into your school’s website, you should be able to find the financial aid COA. If not, just call & ask.</p>
