Reply to comment by Professional-Gap2808 in Paying for my education through a trust fund by Professional-Gap2808

👍👍👍👍👍👍Before you apply for your master's, get into the workforce first. During the interview process, ask your future employer if they can fund your education. Some companies have programs that will pay for your graduate education while still being employed. Or better yet ask during your internship.

Yeah, I would want to find opportunities through school-sponsored internships, but I’m not sure if I would want to take a year off after college to join the workforce if I were to go to grad school. Honestly, I could change my mind if I need a break and want to evaluate my options, but my family tells me the longer I’m in school, the later I have to start working, which is for the better.

I’d also say that I’m considering doing something where I could TA certain classes during my fourth year while taking certain grad-level classes, and finish my master’s in a fifth year at half tuition. That way I could save 75% of what I would be paying for grad school.
