In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring podcast, I discuss the financial challenges that first-gen, BIPOC, and low-income graduate students often face, particularly those who find themselves unable to graduate because they owe money to their university. I share strategies on how to become a “squeaky wheel” to access discretionary or emergency funds, highlight the importance of building a support network, and advocate for policy changes within institutions. Additionally, I provide a checklist of questions to help you anticipate and plan for financial costs, ensuring you are well-prepared by the time you graduate.
If you liked what you heard, you must also listen to episode 267 on the hidden costs of finishing grad school.
I use Descript for video editing, generating interview transcripts, and easily sharing teaching videos. If you want a more efficient way to work, try it yourself here.
