How to Pay for Your Degree in Journalism and Related Fields 2011-2013

Are your working on a degree in journalism, communications or a related field Congratulations! You have made a wise decision. Not only have you picked a career that is exciting and dynamic, but one that is cutting-edge as well. Job opportunities in print journalism are projected to be stable for the next couple of years, and increases may be forthcoming in the future in broadcasting, public relations, advertising, and online.

Getting your degree in journalism or related fields, however, is expensive. It can cost $100,000 or more just to complete a bachelor's degree, and that amount or more for a master's and doctoral degree. That's more than most students can afford to pay on their own.

Fortunately, hundreds of financial aid programs, representing billions of dollars, are available to help undergraduate and graduate students prepare for a career in journalism or related fields. Unfortunately, though, many students working on a degree in these fields are unaware of these funding opportunities. Don't be one of them.
