You have to apply prior to becoming graduate student and they should tell you what you get when you become a student. Everyone files FAFSA before they become students because it determines your ability to pay.
Yes you can get student loan for post-bachelor classes too, pre requisites and such. It’s not going to be as much as grad school but you can get a loan IF you go at least part time. If you only take one class, then no, you can’t get a loan. I got post-bachelor loan when I was getting additional minor prior to grad school.
Now it’s a good idea to get internship so you have experience but all of it depends on what you can afford. I could never in my life afford not to work so regardless if I did internship or was in school or this or that I had to work. So if you have no means to survive then you need to play accordingly. Ton of people work and go to school. Colleague of mine is finishing her PhD and she never took
off work. You have to see what’s best for you
It all depends. Talk to advisor at university
