I'm currently in Grad school for Psychology, and my tuition is fully funded through department grants. When I was applying for schools, this was a huge factor. Not all programs have the funds to offer every student a fellowship/assistantship/grant. In exchange for tution waivers and 15,000 a year, I work 15 hours a week with a professor. Some students apply for loans because they can't live off of the salary, but it works for me. My assistantship requires a great deal of travel, but it is all reinbursed. Its actually works out well, because I like to travel, and I get to go to lots of cool places.
