Paying for Grad School

Hey everyone!

So I was talking to a professor and he explained to me that, at least for engineering, you shouldn’t have to pay anything if you are accepted. It was explained to me that one should be able to get a research assistant job or teaching assistant job to cover costs, even Masters.

Now for those of you in grad school or who have gone through it for engineering, would you agree with these claims or are there some common cases where it isn’t true? I know PhDs are basically covered, so I am more worried about costs for a Masters. Also, I know getting fellowships can cover schooling costs but those are much harder to nail, so I will assume that isn’t an option in a worst case scenario.

Thanks in advance!
