Financial Aid for Online Education
Apr 14th, 2004Get Educated has a few very good resources I'd like to point out. First there is the section on financial aid and online graduate programs, complete with FAQs and easy to navigate.
This was interesting. I'd not been aware (these are 2000 stats) about the average earnings of Master's Degree holders. Man, I really need a raise here …
According to 2000 statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau a person with a master's degree can expect to earn $55,300 per year. Those whose education stops at the bachelor's level can expect to earn $46,300 per year. Holding a master's degree may, on average, raise your income $225,000 over a 25-year career. Clearly, spending between $18,000 and $21,000 on a distance master's degree, in return for $225,000 more in lifetime income, makes a master's degree a good investment.They also have pages with good articles on accreditation and the usefulness of online degree programs.
