Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Hello! My name is Anastasia. I'm married to a person who was granted political asylum in USA (we're both from Russia originally). I've petitioned as a beneficiary and got approved. I've finished university in Russia and got my bachelor's degree there. So my question is- is there any chance for me to get financial aid or grant or anything that can help me to get a Master''s degree here, in one of US universities based on my status? or all grants are available only for bachelor degrees?

And if it is possible- to get aid, i mean- what should i do to get that?

Thank you.

What do you mean by "I'Ve petitioned as a beneficiary and got approved." If it means your Green Card has been approved, then you could qualify for government loans (Not PELL grants, which is for undergraduate students) as soon as you get your green card. You can apply for scholarship from the university you plan to go, if the university has any scholarship program for graduate students. If you have your green card, you must contact the admission office of the university you plan to go, and the school will guide you in your application for financial aid that is available for graduate students. Good Luck.
