Hello,
so as the application process is closing in, I'm running into an obstacle on some of my applications. Some schools consider you completely for all financial aid simply by submitting your app. to the PhD program (as noted on the application). However, some schools state that submitting your app. to the psych department will get you in the pool for department-issued assistantships etc., but some of these schools also reccomend applying through the financial aid of the university's entire grad department. For some reason this is really confusing me....
Am I supposed to apply for financial aid before I'm even accepted/enrolled there? I thought that arranging financial aid apps. would be the step you take after accepting an offer somehwere.
Can anyone with experience clarify this, or at least clear it up a little? Thanks in advance =)
