How can I get fudning for individual education/social research in the Caribbean?

Question

I am interested in doing some indepent research in the Caribbean.

But I need to know which organisations are best to contact.

Answer 1

There are tons of scholarships that go unclaimed each year. Many $400, $500 or $1000 scholarships never even get applied for because people think it's chump change and not worth applying for. Well, get a few of those $500 scholarships and it'll really make a dent in your tuition bill.

Do a search on scholarships, search your major, your ethnic heritage, your town, your parents employers, your employer, hobbies, high school, local chamber of commerce/rotary/ lion's club etc. Left-handed? There is a scholarship out there for you! Older woman returning to school? There are scholarships out there for you. Do combined searches on more than one criteria "hispanic women aviation scholarships" etc.

Go to the library and ask the reference librarian for a reference book on scholarships. They usually have more than one. There are all kinds of scholarships out there, you just have to start applying yourself and make it your summer career to send out letters everyday for scholarships. Good luck!

Answer 2

Find a volunteer possibility. I am a biology essential and I have spent the final semester volunteering at a museum wherein I chat with youngsters and adults approximately DNA and genetics. This has allowed me take my schooling past the study room. Besides, volunteering appears best on resumes and scholarship packages.

Answer 3

It depends but maybe you should try to contact the Rotary Club if you can prove that your research tend to improve literacy in the Caribbean, they might help!

Answer 4

You may have to write a grant for funding.
