I just got into the program of my dreams but received no funding so the school is completely unaffordable to me at the moment...unless I choose to sell my soul to private lenders which I simply refuse to do. I've done some research and know what options I have through this university and have meetings on the books to discuss if I'm eligible for certain fellowships/assistantships. I was curious if there are other avenues that I haven't looked into?

For those who were able to get more funding, how did you do it?

Even if you didn't get more funding from the schools, how are you paying? Grants, scholarships, loans?

I'd really love to have this experience but I also want to be as financially responsible as possible.

Temple is my top choice so I’m ecstatic to have been admitted but I’m facing a reality where I simply can’t afford to go because I haven’t been given aid and refuse to take out private loans. I have a few upcoming meetings to talk this out with admins but I wanted to know what the experience was like for current/former students when asking for more funding/work/remission opportunities
