subject: Financial Aid: Types, And Possible Ways To Get It. [print this page] There are several types of financial aid for which you can apply.
Scholarship is the most desired kind of financial aid as it usually does not imply any reciprocal actions, except gratitude. The grant usually is taken into account tuition fees, but sometimes, it can include also expenses on residing. It can be paid from state means, the educational institution or fund of its graduates, and also any other fund.
Other version of financial aid is called fellowship. In this case the aid, as a rule, is allocated in the area of the informal scientific organizations offering financial aid to post-graduate students, candidates and the doctors of sciences who are engaged in special projects in this or that area. Often fellowships are paid to representatives of various minorities who are insufficiently presented in this or that sphere of researches including to women. There is, for example, a special financial aid for female students Delta Gamma Fellowship.
It is also possible to receive financial aid called grant. It is aid that is called "the highest level aid". The grant is usually allocated for any scientific project (research) and rejects entirely all expenses on its performance. Pay the grant any organization specially employing the student for carrying out of research can. Besides cost of the work, the grant, as a rule, includes expenses on transport, residing and other accompanying expenditure. Many programs of grants finance work on theses for a doctor's degree.
Other version of financial aid is assistantship. It is not actually financial aid as performance of certain work in exchange is required: the assistant undertakes to help the supervisor of studies or the professor with carrying out of researches. The work volume can be rigidly stipulated for example, 20 hours per week.
Also, you may take a loan for education which you will have to pay back after finishing your education.
