Graduate School Financial Assistance

Many individuals give up on attending graduate school for financial reasons. Graduate school can be expensive; therefore, it is very important to consider and apply for all types of financial aid. The most common types of financial aid are reviewed below. Also, review websites such as Fastweb.com.

Grants & Fellowships - Most grants and fellowships are awards that provide the cost of tuition and fees plus a stipend (salary) to cover living expenses. As a rule, grants are given to those with a financial need while fellowships are awarded more often for academic achievement. Funding for grants and fellowships may be provided by the school itself, as well as private foundations, industry, or government agencies. A fellowship sometimes requires students to provide a service to the school.

Assistantships - Awarded by individual departments, assistantships require students to provide a service to the university in exchange for a stipend. Assistantships tend to be in the areas of teaching, research, and administration. Often times, tuition is subsidized or waived outright. Assistantship areas and responsibilities will vary according to the program or department.

Education Loans - Most institutions have loan programs for which graduate students may be eligible. These programs can include the Federal Perkins Loan Program, the Subsidized & Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program, and private/state-sponsored Guaranteed Student Loan Programs.

College Work-Study Program - Eligible students are provided part-time employment during the academic year and possibly full or part-time employment during the summer.

Other Employment - Some schools have arrangements with local businesses and industries whereby a student might be utilized for research or consultation.

Minority Resources - Many graduate and professional schools have allotted resources to the recruitment and retention of minority graduate students. This additional funding has created more fellowship/grant awards and has provided a greater ability to bring prospective students to campuses. Inquire about minority programs when requesting application and financial aid information from schools and programs of interest.

Student Loan Repayment & Forgiveness

• NYS Get on Your Feed Loan Forgiveness Program The NYS Get on Your Feet Loan Forgiveness Program provides up to 24 months of federal student loan debt relief to recent NYS college graduates who are participating in a federal income-driven repayment plan whose payments are generally capped at 10 percent of their discretionary income.
• The National Health Services Corps Loan Repayment Program NHSC serves two roles; we award scholarships to students training to become health care workers and we pay school loans for current primary health care workers.

   

The Interview

An employer's decision to extend a job offer to you is based on many variables, some of which you may never know.  The questions you are asked in an interview typically address these 3 areas:

• Can you?
• Will you?
• Do you fit?

An interview is a conversation, not an inquisition.  The interview gives you an opportunity to talk about your previous hard work, your career goals, and your aspirations.

Behavioral Interviewing

Behavioral interviewing is an interviewing technique that helps employers predict how a candidate will perform on the job and fit into the organization.  The theory behind this type of interviewing is that the most accurate predictor of future performance is past behavior in a similar situation.  By finding out what actions you took and/or how you reacted in past situations, the employer gets a sense for how you will probably respond to circumstances in the position they are considering you for.

Why do Employers use Behavioral Interviewing?

This technique provides employers with objective information that they don't get from a traditional interview question. For example, if an employer asks, "Do you work well with people from diverse cultures?" your response will most likely be "yes." If the employer says, "Tell me about a time when you had to work with people from diverse cultures," you will respond with a story about a situation where this was the case. The employer will then be able to judge for him/herself whether you actually do perform well, according to his/her standards. This also gives you the opportunity to prove by example that you can handle the task at hand.

How to Prepare:

• Refresh your memory about your achievements and highlights of both your school and work careers over the past few years.
• Consider how you handled challenging problems or obstacles and be able to summarize the outcomes.
• Demonstrate past behaviors by drawing on many experiences: internships, classes and projects, activities, sports participation, community service, and full or part-time jobs.
• Decision making, leadership, organizational skills, problem-solving, and team building are among the many topics that behavioral questions probe into, so any experiences which involve these areas would be good to use as behavioral examples.

• Behavioral Interview Questions

• How to Look Good in Skype Interviews - Tips & Training. (YouTube Video)

Dress for Success

You are not only being evaluated by what you say in an interview but how you present yourself. Dressing professionally is essential for creating a favorable impression.

Thank You Letter

It is a good practice to send the interviewer a thank-you letter within two days after the interview, thanking them for their time and consideration. Consider including the following in your letter:

• Remind the employer of the interview and the qualifications you possess which are especially significant to the position.  
• Accent and emphasize a specific point that was well-received by the employer during the interview.
• Share your afterthoughts as a way of supplying important information that was left out of the interview.
• Communicate your continued interest in the position and that you would like to work for the organization.

Be sure to get the correct name, title, and address of the interviewer(s) so that you can properly address your thank you.  You should ask for his/her business card at the end of the interview.  If time permits, mailing a letter or handwritten thank you note always makes a good impression. However, an email thank you message works when an employer is making an immediate hiring decision or you were interviewed by phone or Skype. Make sure to put in your subject line:  Thank you - Job Title Interview.

Resume

• What's the difference between a CV and a resume?
  • One of the biggest differences between a resume and a CV is in the audience.
  • A CV speaks largely to an academic audience and documents your academic and intellectual accomplishments.
  • A resume is read by hiring managers in a non-academic organization and should be tailored to this group. Managers often review hundreds of applicants, and each resume is reviewed for an average of fifteen seconds. Your resume must, therefore, be concise and clear enough to make an immediate impression.
  • Both must provide a persuasive account of your specific skills and experiences as they relate to the specific job.
