7 Speech Therapy Graduate Tips (all new clinicians need to read this before going into debt)
This post is all about speech therapy graduate
01
Graduate Assistantship | Speech Therapy Graduate Tips
Apply for a graduate assistantship. This will help cover the cost of tuition and give you a stipend. Usually these are found in the state schools and take a lot of searching. I found one every semester, except for my first semester.
02
What School Should I Get My Master's In Speech Pathology From?
Honestly, pick the cheaper one. No one cares which school you went to and we don't make enough money to make it worth it to pay off large student loans.
03
Save Your Money
Start saving your money right away out of school. I attended financial peace university by Dave Ramsey which helped me understand the value of dollar and how to treat it.
04
You can work for a year before your speech pathology masters program
Now with a basic undergrad degree in speech pathology the options will be slightly limited but choose something in the field that will prove why you want to be an SLP. Take the year to save money for graduate school.
05
No Big Events In Grad School
In my graduate program, they literally told us we could not get married or have a baby. Odd I know. I do see how these would be large time and financial implications that may hinder your ability to focus on school. Graduate school is way harder than the actual profession, by the way.
