The Great Doctoral Degree Hunt: Part VI

By Leah MacVie

Mission 10: Apply to Scholarships

Going into the scholarship process, I didn't realize there were so many specific scholarships out there for individual differences. I found scholarships for left handers, triplets,  little people, tall people, duck calling, and animal care experience.

I wondered if there was a scholarship out there for a Buffalo bred, writing, Star Trek TNG loving, cupcake connoisseur?

Probably not, but I am working to dwindle down application possibilities. I'm finding a bit of time this week and next week to apply. Before I begin the application process, I decided to set up a chart, much like the one's I used to keep track of doctoral applications. This chart will help me to organize the scholarships by due date and awards. Some I have already applied for and I think it's important to keep track of those as well to find out which one's were awarded. Scholarship Search
  Have you ever applied for scholarships before? Do you have any scholarship application tips?

  1. You need to always be at your best with your studies to maintain your scholarship privileges. To make the best out of being a scholar, I take courses that lead to master’s or doctorate degrees.

  3. You can make utilisation of the internet to search for financial companies that offer student loans for people who approach online degree programs. This is the good thing about technology; you do not have to leave the comfort of your home in order to search for companies that offer student loans. Choose a company that offers long terms within loan but one that has reduce interest rate. Compute the interest price first before you sign up the contract. Click here for more info.
