Ways to Afford Graduate School
Financial aid is offered to degree-seeking students who complete a FAFSA or TASFA based on their eligibility. You must be enrolled in at least six credit hours each semester to be eligible for financial aid.
Scholarships
Institutional scholarships are available to help with the cost of graduate school. They are awarded based on academic achievement, extracurricular activities, volunteer services, employment and financial need. Once you have been admitted, log in to your myLeo student portal to apply.
Graduate Assistantships
Graduate assistant teaching (GAT), graduate assistant research (GAR), and graduate assistant non-teaching (GANT) assistantships at East Texas A&M offer financial support and professional development for graduate students. Assistantships are available in academic and non-academic departments.
Loans
Loans are funds that must be paid back, although most don’t require payments until after graduation. Based on your FAFSA, you will be informed of federal student loans for which you may qualify.
Grants
Grants are funds that, in most cases, don’t need to be paid back. Both federal and state grants are available if you meet the eligibility requirements and demonstrate financial need.
