Where is the best place to get money for a post graduate degree?

Question

I have a full time job and cannot get time off to get my masters degree. I want to take online courses but they are very expensive. What is the best way to go about getting grants or scholarships for this kind of education.

Answer 1

The first place to look is for help to get a masters degree is at the human resources office at your workplace. Some employers do pay a little at least for an employee to further their education and skills. However, I will provide some other places to locate more money to attend college, too.

First, the FAFSA form will tap into the federal .subsidized and unsubsidized student loans. Federal and state college grants do not exist on the graduate school level.

Second, college's financial aid office and website has a list of private scholarships offered from outside organizations and companies.

Third, the public library has a book listing scholarships with some not even listed on the web.

Finally, I recommend joining several free membership scholarship search websites. There are scholarships for a variety of things including ethnicity, clubs, hobbies, and even wearing duct tape to the high school prom. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on information entered onto a form on the website.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Forgive me, but...Hahahahahahahaha!

You can't seriously think you have any chance of a scholarship!? You don't. None. No chance. Zero. Clear?

You do have some choices though.

1/ Sell everything valuable that you own and hope that they will bring you enough money to pay for your Masters.

2/ Borrow what you can from family and friends.

3/ Ask a bank (if they hear you out, that is)

I have worked in universities all around the world for over 25 years and have supervised over 50 Master's theses. Nobody, NO ONE has ever done a Masters on a scholarship. They paid for it themselves. As you will have to.

Answer 3

Asl your employer to sponsor you.
