Can Graduate Students Access FAFSA Financial Aid Like Undergraduates?

AI Thread Summary
Graduate students can access financial aid through FAFSA, similar to undergraduates, but the availability and type of aid may vary by program. Many graduate schools offer substantial financial support, including tuition reimbursement and teaching assistant (TA) positions, particularly in mathematics and physics programs. Engineering programs likely have similar financial aid options, though specifics may differ. It's important for prospective graduate students to check with their specific institutions for detailed financial aid opportunities.

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science.

It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
