I'm considering applying to university to do a one-year full-time research masters degree. The course fees are 拢5000 which, considering my large student loan, I can't afford without help (my student loan therefore makes a career development loan unappealing). I would rather get the money myself somehow instead of placing the financial burden on my parents so I've been doing some research into scholarships and charitable funding. The problem I've been having is that the funding and scholarships seems aimed at international students or people from families with financial difficulties, neither of which include me. Has anyone else been in this situation and what did you do?
"funding a masters degree"?Stay away from loans as much as you can. You have no idea how burdensome it is to pay them back once you leave school.
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.
People make the mistake of looking for one big scholarship to pay for everything when they should be targeting smaller scholarships that are more regionalized or specialized to their intended field or reflect something unique about them (son of Italian policeman, daughter of registered nurse, etc). Everybody goes for the big scholarships, the competition for those is much higher and your chances are smaller of getting it. Research and apply for anything and everything you are close to being eligible for no matter how small the scholarship.
