Funding for Post Grad... experiences?

[darkangel]

Hi guys!

Sooooo basically I have just been accepted onto an MA and now have to find just over eight grand in scholarships. I am currently going for the institutions internal scholarship and hopefully I'll get the max 5 grand that they are offering... I'm also going down some other scholarship routes, but just wanted to hear about if anyone has done this on here before?

Any tips would be great, I'm kind of stressing out... because I need to raise the money by September and give them a ?500 non refundable deposit to confirm my place on the course within 5 weeks... which I don't really want to do without definitely knowing that I'll have the funds to pay for the fees. It will get knocked off the overall fees but still...

Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

DA

do a kick-starter for some coleslaw and you will have funds to spare

Spend the ?500 straight away and then you'll have a mighty incentive to get the full amount done.
