<p>I still got ways to go but I want to attend grad school to get my MS in Accounting. How much merit aid do you think I’ll be able to get? Tuition + Housing + Fees will be about $53k total. Quick facts:
- ~ 3.7 GPA
- Top 50 University that really focuses on retaining students for its MS Acc. Program
- I have really good relationships with director and professors of the Business School </p>
<p>What’s about the min/max amount of merit aid I can get? I’ll definitely be open to work study, loans, and TA/Professor assistance pay eventually, but just curious…</p>
<p>For grad school aren’t you usually hired to be a TA as part of the process and you choose the school that wants you the most?</p>
<p>Almost ALL financial aid in grad school is merit aid with the exception of the Stafford loans and work study (which some schools have for grad students). Grad students who receive aid, typically receive it in the form of assistantships, scholarships, fellowships, grants, and tuition remissions (usually in conjunction with a fellowship or assistantship). These are ALL based on merit.</p>
<p>There is no way to predict the amount of money your college will award you for graduate studies. There is no “minimum or maximum” amount. If you have a good relationshipwith someone in the department of your choice, contact them and discuss their graduate funding options. They should be able to tell you what you need to know.</p>
<p>thanks for the great answer thumper, hopefully I get a lot of $$ =)</p>
