Late Start Money Hunt

[wishfulthinker85]

Hello,

 

I accepted an offer to BGSU's MA Philosophy program. I know it's pretty late to search for funding but I'm kind of at a loss of where to continue looking. School's financial aid dept. has pretty much wrapped up their scholarship season save the one I found and applied to for nontraditional students. The dept. mentioned potential funding but no promises.

 

Any advice of ideas where else I could look would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks to all who reply to this topic

I'm afraid your name may be rather apt. Scholarship season for fall 2014 is quite over, and the going's always rough for terminal MAs. You should, however, have heard from your department by now about their financial commitments. Follow up with them and stress your need for funding. Ask them about any scholarships their students have held, so you'll know where to look for the future. Then start looking for grants to fund your second year, if you're in a 2 year program.
