Scholarships and Grants

Securing a scholarship or grant is an ideal way to fund your master’s degree without the stress of repayment. These financial aids are available through universities, private entities, and professional organizations, offering both merit-based and need-based awards. Be sure to check the school and program of your choice, as these can vary per school. You can also find information about scholarships online by using a scholarship finder or looking at country-specific scholarship websites, such as for the UK or US.

Sponsorships and Employer Support

Employer sponsorship can significantly reduce the financial burden of a master’s degree. When you approach your employer for support, emphasize the mutual benefits of your enhanced education.

A well-planned budget is your best tool for managing the costs associated with pursuing a master’s degree. You can manage a student-friendly budget by buying secondhand, taking advantage of student discounts, and learning to manage your food expenses. Looking into a weekend or part-time job while studying might also be an option for extra income.
