Funding Your Degree

Depending on your financial situation and the state in which you live, you may be eligible for other types of aid. The best and fastest way to determine your total financial aid package is to submit your FAFSA when applications open in October and apply early! (Gallaudet’s FAFSA School Code: 001443)

Vocational Rehabilitation (VR)

If you qualify for VR based on disability status, and graduate school is deemed necessary to either obtain an entry level position in your field of employment or advance your career, VR may cover part or all of the cost of graduate school.
