Connect with EducationUSA Useful Information: Financial Aid for GraduatesStrategies for Application for Financial Aid STRATEGIES FOR APPLICATION: •Start early - 18 months to two years is not too soon! •Use references to find institutions that closely match your specialty and grant programs or research grants that apply specifically to your field. •Take standardized examinations as early as possible. TOEFL and GRE or GMAT scores are essential. •If you have published research, documented music performances, an art portfolio or other evidence of achievement, find a way to submit them as part of your application. •Do everything that the university requests in its application procedure. If you cannot comply with a request, explain why and suggest alternatives. •Emphasize your academic and research achievements, your plans for your academic and research work, and your plans for the future. At the graduate level, the primary reason for awarding financial aid is merit, not need. Be honest and accurate about the level of your need, but place emphasis on your academic promise rather than your need for total funding. •The appearance of your application is important. Type or print neatly. •Never send copies of letters, but send originals addressed to the appropriate person in the academic department or graduate admissions office. |
