This episode is for anyone who accepted a grad school offer with little to no funding, and it's especially relevant for students admitted into master's programs, as they tend to offer less funding compared to doctoral programs. You'll hear about creating a budget, asking for funding after committing (if you didn't do so beforehand), applying for scholarships, fellowships, and on-campus job opportunities, and how else to minimize the amount of debt you may incur.
