1. Apply for Financial Aid.  Complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) online at www.fafsa.ed.gov as soon as possible.  While loans are the primary source of funding for graduate students, you may wish to pursue graduate scholarship and/or graduate assistantship opportunities.  You can access the combined application for the graduate scholarship/assistantship at: http://www.roosevelt.edu/pdfs/grad-scholar-app.pdf.  You may also visit the financial aid website at www.roosevelt.edu/financialaid or contact the Financial Aid Office at 866-421-0935 for further assistance.
