Host: What sources of free money are available to graduate students?

Brad Barnett: The graduate student s free money is usually limited to money the school would give them or the money they can find from other sources. Now, there are exceptions and I would encourage you to talk to your college to find out in the financial aid office there, if there are any other sources of assistance that they can get that are free but usually, you are looking at institutional money or private money if you are trying to find free money as a graduate student.
