Answer 1

I have never heard of a GRE scholarship, so I cannot help you there.

However, most students with outstanding qualifications do not pay for doctoral study. They receive teaching assistantships, research assistantships, or fellowships. These awards provide full tuition remission, as well as a small living stipend.

In order to merit consideration for such an award, an applicant should have a superb undergraduate GPA, high GRE scores, and, perhaps most importantly, outstanding letters of recommendation from their undergraduate professors. An applicant should also submit a literate, informed personal statement, in which she describes her specific area of academic interest, outlines her strong preparation for this type of study, identifies her career goals, and in so doing, shows familiarity with current theory and method in the field of study. Many programs also require that applicants submit a writing sample. Length requirements for writing samples vary, but be sure to observe each program's requirements. Admission committees are looking for both facility in written expression, and familiarity with current issues and theories in the candidate's specific field of interest.

Few people pay for their PhD programs. If you can get in, you'll generally be offered a tuition waiver and some (very small) compensation in return for teaching or doing research. You'll make enough to live on, if you are frugal. If you do a master's degree first and then move to a PhD program, you may have to pay for the masters program. I racked up about $42K in debt for my MA at a state school, though I was from out of state. I had a few small scholarships that covered about 12 semester hours (at the in-state rate) and had a 20 hr/wk minimum wage job. The debt was for tuition, fees, and everything else that the scholarship and job didn't pay for. I'm also not familiar with a GRE scholarship, only with the test required for admission by most graduate programs.

It depends on the university that you go to. They will have that information on thier web site. I am not familiar with the GRE scholarship. The GRE is the Graduate Record Exam that is required for all graduate studies.
