They said, ‘YES!’ Actually, several graduate schools sent us offers but we accepted the one from Virginia Commonwealth University. They offered full tuition remission (I do not pay any tuition) and I will receive a yearly stipend. In return I will work on various research projects in the lab and will assist the department by advising students, and/or teaching labs. What this ultimately means is we will not rack up a soul-crushing mountain of debt as I earn a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology.
