Book excerpt: This booklet summarizes findings from the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study, concerning graduate and first-professional students. The booklet's introduction indicates that, of the 2.8 million postsecondary students enrolled in 1995-96, 56 percent were enrolled in master's degree programs, 12 percent in doctoral programs, 12 percent in first-professional programs, and 20 percent in nondegree programs. The next section provides more detail on master's degree students, breaking down enrollments into the following categories: business administration (where 51 percent of students received financial aid); education (where 41 percent received aid); and arts or science (where 58 percent received aid). The section on doctoral degree students notes that 70 percent were in Ph.D. programs, 12 percent in Ed.D. programs, and 18 percent in other doctoral programs. This section notes that while two-thirds of Ph.D. students received financial aid, relatively few Ed.D. students received financial aid, reflecting the predominantly part-time enrollment and full-time employment of ED. students. The section on first-professional students notes that 74 percent borrowed money to finance their education an average of $47,700 for law students and $55,900 for medical students graduating in 1995-96. Data are presented in 10 tables and charts. (DB)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2007-08, about 3 million students were enrolled in graduate or first-professional degree programs in the United States. These students exhibited wide variation both demographically and in the types of programs and institutions they attended. They pursued degrees in all types of fields, from the physical and life sciences to the arts and humanities to law and medicine. Some worked while they were enrolled while others did not. How these students financed their graduate studies in 2007-08 is the focus of these Web Tables, which are divided into three sections: The tables in Section 1 include the types of financial aid received by graduate and first-professional students, shown by students' enrollment and demographic characteristics. This section includes the percentages of graduate students who received grants, loans, assistantships, or other types of aid and the average amounts they received. Tables in Section 2 show the percentage of graduate and first-professional students who received aid from federal, state, institutional, or private sources, along with the average amounts received from each source. These are also shown by enrollment and demographic characteristics. The tables in Section 3 are dedicated to employment among graduate students. The percentage of graduate and first-professional students who worked while enrolled, average hours worked per week, and the role in which students saw themselves (i.e., as students who work to meet expenses or as employees who study) are explored in this section. The estimates presented in these tables were generated from the 2007-08 National Postsecondary Student Aid Survey (NPSAS:08), a comprehensive, nationally representative survey of how students finance their postsecondary education conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). NPSAS also includes a broad array of demographic and enrollment characteristics. A glossary is included. (Contains 3 endnotes and 64 tables.).

This book was released on 1993 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report profiles graduate and first-professional students enrolled in postsecondary institutions in 1989-90 and describes their education expenses, the sources and types of financial aid they received, the composition of their aid awards, and the availability of other sources of financial support, such as their own and spouse's earnings and savings and assistance from parents and friends. Chapters provide profiles of graduate and first-professional students, describing the institutions they attended and selected; the costs related to enrollment in a graduate or first-professional program; discusses the various sources and types of financial assistance used by graduate and first-professional students; provides information on the composition of student financial aid awards; and looks at sources of student financial support beyond financial aid. Among the findings are the following: (1) in 1989-90, 2 million students were enrolled in master's degree, doctoral degree, or other graduate programs, and an additional 300,000 students were enrolled in first-professional degree programs; (2) average total expenses for full-time graduate and first-professional students were $15,290; (3) overall, 45 percent of all graduate and first-professional students received some type of financial aid; and (4) 23 percent of students receiving family support (including their own savings and earnings) received it from parents or other relatives, and 13 percent from a spouse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report uses the 2003-04 NPSAS data to describe the characteristics of graduate and first professional students and how they finance their education, with a section focusing on students who attend exclusively part time. The report also includes a compendium of tables providing detailed data on student and enrollment characteristics, types of financial aid, sources of financial aid, and employment while enrolled. The report shows that the majority of students (60 percent) were enrolled at the master's level. Seventy-three percent of all graduate and first-professional students received some type of aid (grants, loans, assistantships, or work-study), and the average amount received by aided students was $15,100. Aid patterns varied across programs, however. For example, doctoral students were more likely than others to receive grant aid (55 percent versus 38 percent of master's students and 41 percent of first-professional students), while first-professional students were the most likely to borrow (78 percent versus 40 percent of master's students and 30 percent of doctoral students). About half (51 percent) of all graduate and first professional students attended exclusively part time in 2003-04, and 70 percent of these students worked full time while enrolled. The following are appended: (1) Glossary; and (2) Technical Notes and Methodology. (Contains 61 tables and 11 figures.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2007-08, graduate and first-professional students received a total of $36.7 billion in federal loans; federal grants; and grants from institutions, employers, and other sources (College Board 2008, figure 2b). In addition to these funds, they also received teaching and research assistantships and sought loans from private sources. These Web Tables provide detail on the sources of funds that graduate students used to finance their education and how their use of these funding mechanisms changed between 1995-96 and 2007-08. The data presented were collected through four administrations of the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS): 1995-96, 1999-2000, 2003-04, and 2007-08. The tables are organized into four sections. The first series of tables present trends in the total financial aid students received from each of the major types of aid--grants, loans, and assistantships--during the four survey years. The second series of tables present trends in aid receipt by aid source, distinguishing among aid received from the federal government, institutions, employers, and other private sources, during each survey year. The third and fourth series of tables present trend data on students' employment while enrolled and on the cost of graduate education, respectively, during each survey year. A glossary is included. (Contains 20 tables and 3 endnotes.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirteen percent of adults in the United States ages 25 and older hold advanced degrees -- master's, doctoral or professional degrees. The first brief in this series reported that bachelor's degree recipients from low-income households are less likely than other graduates to pursue advanced degrees and are less likely than students from more affluent backgrounds to complete them. High tuition prices and living expenses may provide one explanation for these unequal outcomes. This brief examines how students finance their graduate and professional education. It summarizes the sources of funds used to cover the tuition and fees universities charge, as well as living expenses. Institutions set a “cost of attendance” (COA) for students, estimating the average budget for one academic year (fall through spring). COA includes tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, transportation, and other living expenses, and it establishes the maximum amount students can borrow in federal student loans to attend a particular school. These official budgets serve as the foundation for the discussion that follows about how graduate and professional degree students pay for their education. It is critical to understand that COA is subjective. Since most graduate students do not live in campus housing, actual living expenses depend on local prices for food and housing, as well as the lifestyle choices students make. As the data below reveal, the budgets institutions set for graduate and professional students are frequently quite generous relative to budgets set for undergraduate students and living standards set by the federal government. Many students use earnings from employment and federal loans to fund their graduate and professional education. But financing patterns differ a great deal across and within types of programs. This brief explores these patterns by describing average budgets for graduate and professional degree students and the funding sources used to cover these budgets.
