Resources for Non-Profit Employees

[K.Ash]

Has anyone found scholarship opportunities that are specifically for non-profit organization employees? I know you proooobably don't want to share with potential competition, but I would very much appreciate your assistance! I'm not particularly hopeful for funding from my schools (out of the three I've heard from, 1 has said no $ and 2 haven't said). Unfortunately, as a NPO employee I don't exactly have a lot of funds to draw on so I'm hoping to find luck with some outside scholarships.

I've done lots of scholarship searching, including looking through the schools I'm applying to and what they link to. Have found very few I qualify for. But I def recommend checking out each school you applied to at least on their fin aid pages for scholarship info, some may work for you

Wouldn't it be nice if there were more scholarships for us considering we also will make less than everyone later on? Le sigh..

It has definitely been a frustrating search. There is a part of me that feels like I must be missing something really obvious, because how the heck can there NOT be scholarships for non-profit employees. The loan forgiveness program is alright, if you plan on making enough for income based repayment for the next 10 yrs (which I don't, thus graduate school!).

I have been checking out other school's financial aid pages, to see what types of scholarships/fellowships/etc they link to. At this point, though, its all pretty much the same stuff. What a bummer.

Congrats on the $14k to Heinz, btw! I haven't heard about funding from anyone except GWU who said I'm not getting a dime, unfortunately.
