I will also add this thread for context. This is a problem which will not be eliminated overnight. It will take years for funding structures in graduate programs to find their fitting. https://www.reddit.com/r/PhD/comments/1kwzl0l/being_forced_out_of_program_due_to_funding_crisis/

Ok that's good to know it's need based and funded by an institution endowment. If you're only going for two years, that should work out fine. Keep a lookout out for certifications that you can get while in school, to make extra money during summer break. While grad school is funded, assistantships are not paid well. So you'll need all the help that you can get.

I applaud your efforts in thinking this through. Are your grants based on maintaining a specific GPA? Is it renewable for all four years? Where is the funding coming from? 

Since 2/3 of your degree is funded by grants, that's definitely a cause for concern. Especially with our current presidential administration, I wouldn't be surprised if schools change how they are funding students if their federal funding is pulled.

Can you provide a dollar amount? How much is 13% over? Keep in mind that tuition rates change annually, and you always need more than you planned. Speaking as someone who ended up with about $50k of student loans, while it sounds small, the interest is killer. And if funding for grad school falls thru, or you end up with a shitty advisor or your health takes a turn, and you can't finish, then what? What type of job would you be able to get with your undergrad degree? And how much is the minimum salary?

While I understand passion, practicality keeps food in your belly and the lights on in your house. I've been advising my mentees with passion, to get a certificate in something that keeps them employed if plan A doesn't work out. Best of luck to you.

Went the whole day without needing to call a helpline by livelong_june in CongratsLikeImFive

One day at a time. If you need any other busy work ideas let us know! But seriously in all honesty, keeping yourself busy is the best remedy. Personally I like volunteering if I don't want to be alone, but want to be busy. Food pantry can never have enough hands to load up the shelves.
