All the things we find are for foreigners or minorities.
Why isn't there help for an intelligent white female? $47,000 in debt for undergrad now looking at another $30,000+ for grad school. I find it hard to believe there isn't help for intelligent people who need the financial help. By daughter is conservative, Christian and has a plan for her future. Bet is she were minority she wouldn't be in debt. Just so frustrating.

I'm glad that you mentioned fellowships. Fellowships often pay full tuition for graduate school and in some cases include a stipend as well. Many schools offer them, especially business schools. Here is a list of full-tuition fellowships at business schools: http://www.profellow.com/fellowships/fellowship-opportunites-at-top-business-schools/

One should expect to go into debt to get a degree in Law or Medicine. Unfortunate but true.
One should never have to go into debt for a MBA as your company should pay.
As for Science and Engineering graduate programs, No Debt as one should be a RA or TA.
Education degree for teaching? Again, get an employer to pay or try to get a Master's in one year, as it can be done.
Fundamentally, most people should Never have to go into debt to get a MS or PhD. If you have to, then one needs to sit down and use your undergraduate education to figure out the Cost/Benefit of that graduate degree.
