(U-WIRE) WORCESTER, Mass. - Think graduate school is expensive? Well you're right, but have no fears; help is on the way!

For engineering and science majors there are some options in funding your graduate education. Depending on your expectations or limitations, funding chooses may differ -- part time, full time, study in the United States or abroad.

For full-time students, TA and RA positions can help pay for graduate school. Working as Teaching Assistants and/or Research Assistants are one way to help cover the cost. If you have a job already, looking into options with your company for tuition reimbursement can be a big help.

Fellowships are also available to fund graduate studies. Fellowships are usually available through the department you are applying to and/or be supplied directly by the state. They are usually awarded by academic excellence and financial need of the person applying. Predominantly in engineering, tuition can be completely covered including a stipend for living expenses.

There are also private fellowships that give based on area of study, certain minority groups, and merit. Many national scholarships are available as well as such as the Fulbright and Mellon Fellowships. In addition to fellowships, many scholarships are available to aid graduate school funding. Businesses like Price Chopper and many others offer graduate students a chance to earn money. Organizations, such as the YMCA, and many others also offer scholarship opportunities.
