Off GP NOPE...on average the costs range from a lil over $32K (undergrad) to $56K (Med.) without taking into account other variables like the specific program, residence, cost of living, etc. shyt looking at how financial aid works, they make the determination as to whether or not the aid you're receiving is sufficient or even too much based on those factors I listed.

As far as the funding process goes, (I'm assuming you mean Master of Arts) Howard has various grants, scholarships and whatnots via certain programs/schools (and their respective alumni too) that grant you free gwoup. You got merit-based/private shyt as usual like trustee scholarships determined by deans...ROTC scholarships (include a allowance in addition to a requirement that you complete a certain number of credits in specific courses)...and even more lucrative shyt that gives you a large stipend for doctoral studies, tuition remission (:wow:) and a research allowance...but of course that's merit-based to a higher degree.

On the Federal side you have a Pell and SEO Grants that are for undergrads who really need the support.

All of this is naturally coordinated by Howard's Financial Aid department...most schools are like this.

Essentially the same thing here in Canada. I'd ideally like to do my PhD in the US or London, but tuition remission + research funding doesn't feel as great with international fees + living arrangements in a new home, etc.

#32K for an undergrad though? Not that bad, esp in comparison to what I racked up during mine. Which is why I don't like giving more than 2 minutes of thought about school fees a day


:wow:

True, but 32k out of High School just for your education is a bytch and a half....like you said, people who are international or even out-of-state really get their jimmies rustled.

Yup. I advised my younger brothers, and I think all graduates should do the following: take time off post HS (1 yr) to work/intern and contemplate a career direction prior to applying for school. Racking up that level of debt after making a life decision at 17/18 isn't practical; alarming if you end up following an alternative career path down the road.

My first bill post-uni had me contemplating selling myself for a hot minute like

Yeah, if I could do it again, I'd knock out lower level electives at a cheap ass community college and then transfer to the uni I graduated from to do the upper level ones and get my BA.

If it's any consolation, I would have paid top dollar for you

A severely underreported phenomenon is men who can't be alone/single/not hosting guests in their bedroom like an Airbnb, mad unattractive.
