I'm not an Audiology student but I had a question about how they classify you guys when it comes to limits for federal financial aid. Are you considered medical students(40k a year) or graduate students(20k a year)?
I see. That's got to be rough for some people, some of those programs are 40k a year aren't they?

Federal funding isn't the only option. Aside from assistantships/scholarships, etc., you can also take out Grad Plus loans. They're private loans and they're unsubsidized, but thanks to Obama, all loans are unsubsidized starting in July.
I see, thanks for all the info. Audiology sounds like an attractive profession especially for people interested in a future in research\teaching but that price tag compared to the potential earnings could be a hard pill to swallow.
You actually did not mention clinical practice.Audiology sounds like an attractive profession especially for people interested in a future in research\teaching

Hm, just to clarify for people reading about loans, the PLUS loan is not a private loan. It is also a federal loan, but based on credit rather than need. Interest rates differ from the Stafford loan but are fixed unlike nearly all private loans.
