Answer
Jason,

Thanks for asking this question.  I certainly hope you get accepted to which ever Grad School you are planning on attending... but to find out what the fees are, and how those fees would be affected by a student who is also employed as a research assistant at that College would be a question you need to ask to the specific College or University you are planning on attending.  

Each College participates differently in the percentage of financial aid, or fees charged.  Especially when it comes to a student who is also employed as a research assistant.  I would think this would be considered as some type of "Work Study" Financial Aid... but the specific College or University is the only one who can adequately address that question.

I hope this helps... and Happy New Year to you and your family from all of us here at AllExperts.
