[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you get admitted to a PhD program, does that always come with some sort of research assistantship/fellowship that allows you to make ends meet? If not, in what percentage of cases does it not? If not, does that reflect something about the quality of the program or the applicant? I know you can file a FAFSA for grad school, but was wondering if that's used for professional programs or whether some people finance their PhDs. And what if you're doing a joint professional degree/PhD program?[/quote] Funding definitely varies by field. For STEM, you should seek it for sure but for other fields (even public health), they may only fund a portion of their doctoral students. Depends on the school. ALL of this is spelled out usually on the school's web page (if you read the section on graduate degrees). Take the time to do that. People on here seem to be answering based upon their limited experiences. [/quote]
