Book Description
This report profiles graduate and first-professional students enrolled in postsecondary institutions in 1989-90 and describes their education expenses, the sources and types of financial aid they received, the composition of their aid awards, and the availability of other sources of financial support, such as their own and spouse's earnings and savings and assistance from parents and friends. Chapters provide profiles of graduate and first-professional students, describing the institutions they attended and selected; the costs related to enrollment in a graduate or first-professional program; discusses the various sources and types of financial assistance used by graduate and first-professional students; provides information on the composition of student financial aid awards; and looks at sources of student financial support beyond financial aid. Among the findings are the following: (1) in 1989-90, 2 million students were enrolled in master's degree, doctoral degree, or other graduate programs, and an additional 300,000 students were enrolled in first-professional degree programs; (2) average total expenses for full-time graduate and first-professional students were $15,290; (3) overall, 45 percent of all graduate and first-professional students received some type of financial aid; and (4) 23 percent of students receiving family support (including their own savings and earnings) received it from parents or other relatives, and 13 percent from a spouse. Appendices contain a glossary and technical notes. (GLR)

Book Description
This report uses the 2003-04 NPSAS data to describe the characteristics of graduate and first professional students and how they finance their education, with a section focusing on students who attend exclusively part time. The report also includes a compendium of tables providing detailed data on student and enrollment characteristics, types of financial aid, sources of financial aid, and employment while enrolled. The report shows that the majority of students (60 percent) were enrolled at the master's level. Seventy-three percent of all graduate and first-professional students received some type of aid (grants, loans, assistantships, or work-study), and the average amount received by aided students was $15,100. Aid patterns varied across programs, however. For example, doctoral students were more likely than others to receive grant aid (55 percent versus 38 percent of master's students and 41 percent of first-professional students), while first-professional students were the most likely to borrow (78 percent versus 40 percent of master's students and 30 percent of doctoral students). About half (51 percent) of all graduate and first professional students attended exclusively part time in 2003-04, and 70 percent of these students worked full time while enrolled. The following are appended: (1) Glossary; and (2) Technical Notes and Methodology. (Contains 61 tables and 11 figures.).
