They also want to do away with federal student loans.
I know zero people who did their masters, med or law school without those.
How did JD pay for Yale?
Just a fwiw, not a pro-trump, but I got a graduate degree and my wife did as well living on an assistantship, and I don’t even think we had access to student loans. We got 10-12k a year, which was enough to live. I know my daughter’s ex-boyfriend was in grad school about a year ago and lived on his assistantship in Riverside on 30k+ (they successfully negotiated a raise). So I’m not sure student loans are a thing for graduate degrees, though they definitely are for undergraduate degrees.
But where do you think the money for the assistantships comes from?
No longer from NIH or any ither federal grant that had any words about diversity in it. Scientific inquiry is in trouble unless it's something Elmo wants.
