Here's the way it works. (Trust me, I direct a graduate program.)\n\nGrad schools offer their top candidates a "package" which usually includes a fellowship, a research assistantship, a teaching assistantship, or some combination of the three.\n\nFellowships usually cover tuition and fees, and they also provide a stipend, which is a small (usually monthly) amount of money to cover basic living expenses. Stipend levels vary, depending on the discipline (sciences higher), and on the geographical area (higher cost of living in larger cities), and on the type of institution (private universities sometimes have bigger stipendiary budgets than public ones).\n\nResearch and teaching assistantships also cover tuition and fees, but the stipend is given in exchange for a certain number of hours of work a week (usually from 10-20), which can be either in doing research (for a professor), or in serving as a teaching assistant.\n\nGrad students often decide on the grad program they'll attend by comparing the "packages."\n\nHope this helps!

If it's a loan, yes. If it's a grant or scholarship, then probably not. But, sometimes with grants or scholarships, you have to give back another way - such as work in a specific field or area for a predetermined amount of time.

It depends on what degree you want to get. Some PhD programs in the biological science areas will support you from day 1 and will pay you $18000 - 23000 a year. While this might seem a lot for you, it all comes down to which city are you living in. For example, I'm getting my PhD in Arizona and get paid 22000. By restricting some expenses and not having a car I could probably be able to save 500 dollars a month.

i don't know about Europe but there  no place in the us you can go for free.  Unless you have a high GRE score and GPA and if the school is actively looking for graduate students you may get a full scholarship.  Many schools in the us offer a graduate assistant ship you work so many hours  usually like 20 get a small stipend and you get to go to so many credit hours for free.  Other schools have TA or teaching assistant ships and depending on your undergrad major and your experience you can teach a freshman level class and get the same benefits of free classes and some money.  But as the expressions goes there is no free lunch you have to give them something to get your free classes

DEFINITELY........I got practically all of my undergraduate studies paid for through FAFA forms and other scholarship forms.  Now I will graduate without worries of paying loans back and am ready for a start with graduate school.

Yes, unless you are late with another student loan.  You can always get a job at a company that offers tuition reimbursement.  You can work, have money and get your education.

I'm about to complete my Ph.D.   I and many in my cohort have just accepted positions as assistant professors in U.S. universities.  I can't give you precise info on Canadian pay, but I know enough to tell you that the pay will vary widely with the subject area, size and type of university, and the market that particular year.  I've seen offers everywhere from $33,000 to $120,000 U.S.  Most packages seem to be between $40 and 60,000, but it is usually much less in the arts, and on the higher end in engineering, business, or the sciences.  Again, this is all U.S. numbers, but it's pretty much the same job market, so I suspect there won't be much difference (aside from the conversion rates), because the Canadian schools hire in the same conferences that the U.S. schools do, so they must pay in the same range to be competitive.\n\nAlso, it doesn't really pay to think about monthly salary.  They will mostly quote you yearly salaries, but it is often a 9-month contract, and in many cases, you'll have the choice of whether to add to it by teaching over the summer.

Yes, you can do it, and there are schools out there that will accept you.\n\nAs for that first answer: getting a PhD is something you do for your own reasons, and outside of universities, a PhD is a great degree for raising one's salary.  \n\nGo for your dream!

Most if not all student loans will only pay for accredited schools. If they aren't accredited than a lot of places won't hire you..If it's not at least a 1 sem. course, they wouldn't cover it anyway..GL

Yes, in fact there are, arguably, more loan options for graduate students than there are for undergrads.  Whether she is a master's student, a doctoral student, or a post-doc student, your wife could borrow...\n\n* A Federal Stafford Loan -- annual limits are $18,500 for most graduate programs (and even higher for health professions students).  Interest rates will be fixed at 6.8% for 06-07\n* A Federal Perkins Loan -- annual limits are $6,000 for graduate students ($4,000 for undergrads). Perkins rates are 5% fixed.\n* A Federal PLUS Loan -- these loans, formerly restricted to undergrads, are open now to graduate students. A student can borrow as much PLUS as it takes to cover his/her educational costs. PLUS rates will be 8.5% for 06-07, though many lenders are offering great interest rate incentives, bringing the PLUS rate down as low as 7%!

It depends on the Graduate Student and where they end up after  and how much their making. Here is a link to the Top 50 Business Schoool according to USNews.com

I'd stay. I love what I study and my professors here are great. But I'd pay off my student loans, and I'd worry less about finding a grad school because I would have my own funding. :)

The rate of remuneration will vary widely by location, and by type of institution.  Rates can also depend on your degree (MA paid lower than MFA or ABD, ABD lower than PhD, etc.).  Also, some colleges pay by credit, some by course.   For a one-semester three-hour course, the remuneration could be as low as $1200, and as high as $5000.

well you can apply to grad school? I must misunderstand your situation.

Some offer partial or full scholarships; maybe some in the oil-rich gulf states afford the opportunity to their own citizens to attain both a masters and a Ph.D for a nominal tuition fee. but I really don't know which ones. Also, I suspect universities in Cuba do something similar.
