In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring podcast, I discuss the recent “Big Beautiful Bill” and its impact on funding options for low-income, first-gen students pursuing graduate education. I share key changes that include the elimination of Graduate PLUS Loans, the introduction of new loan caps, and how to explore alternative funding options for both Master's and PhD programs. I also provides practical insights on planning for the financial aspects of graduate school, including cost of living considerations and the importance of advocating for yourself so that you can make graduate school financially feasible for you. If you liked what you heard, check out <a href="https://gradschoolfemtoring.com/episodes/306">episode 306</a> on how to secure funding for master’s degrees.  You can learn more about my grad admissions consulting services <a href="https://gradschoolfemtoring.com/consulting/">here</a>. Get your free copy of my Grad School Femtoring Resource Kit <a href="https://creative-trailblazer-5062.ck.page/d546d75b8e">⁠here⁠</a>. Support our free resources with a <a href="https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=VCBTW2N6U7LG6">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠one-time or monthly donation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>. To download episode transcripts and access more resources, go to my website: <a href="https://gradschoolfemtoring.com/podcast/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://gradschoolfemtoring.com/podcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>   This podcast is a proud member of the Atabey & Co.
