I am a 58 year old with two masters: M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction and a M.A. in English. I want to get a Ph.D in English Literaturein Critical Theory concentrating on Postcolonial theory. I know I will never be a tenure track teacher. That doesn't bother me. However, I'd like to write to advocate equality for Native Americans. Do I have a chance with my age. I also need a fellowship or scholarships. Will the universe hold it against me because I am 58. I have a GPA of 3.74. I have worked as a public school teacher the entire time I worked on my degrees taking 2 courses most semesters so I can do the work. I'm just afraid of ageism.I want to get into a school for the fall of 13. Ist it too late?
