Feature GradSense in your Fall Newsletters to Grad Students

Graduate students need smart financial plans to succeed in grad school. Help them make one with GradSense, a free CGS resource that helps students get the information they need to make informed financial decisions throughout their grad school journey.

Key Features of GradSense:

• Funding Options and Financial Aid: Offers guidance on finding and applying for financial assistance.
• Managing Finances: Provides practical tips on budgeting and managing money while in graduate school, including an online budget calculator developed specifically for graduate students.
• After Grad School: Includes information on evaluating and negotiating job offers and resources on federal loan repayment.

GradSense is managed by CGS, with financial support from TIAA.

A GradSense Member Toolkit is available that you may use in promoting GradSense with your current or prospective students. The toolkit includes a short newsletter article in the Internal and External Email file to include in student communications when the academic year begins, along with a flyer you can share during graduate student orientations and events.
