Bioarchaeology  

Funding for graduate school

I have been accepted into graduate school in the UK to study biological archaeology at University College London. However I was notified of my acceptance late and as a result have little scholarship and grant money available to me. In general it is more common for students in the UK to receive sponsors who help them with their school fees rather than scholarships. UCL is one of the top schools in the world and obtaining my MSc from it would do wonders for my future career. Any sponsors or individual contributions would be undoubtedly appreciated beyond words!

If you have the means, I need your help NOW, I need to raise $800 by Nov. 10th...

Hello to all contributors! I am in desperate need of help with rent money for the month of October, which is pass due, and November 2011 is just around the corner. I am from West Hartford, CT. 44 years old, been unemployed since June of this year, and have had no luck in finding a job. I'm depressed and don't have family or friends to turn to. I have always been self-reliant but for the past 3 years, financially, It has been painful struggling, some days I just feel like giving it all up... don't ask me what that means because I don't know or won't know until it happens... I need to raise $800 by Nov. 10th, 2011, or my landlord will evict me from her property. If you can donate $10, $20, $40, $60, $80, or $100 today to help me get caught up on my rent, the generous gesture would be memorable and forever appreciated. If you have the means to help make someone, (a complete stranger) life better, then please try to help me... I'm no good at asking or begging for help because I grew up with no one to help me make it in the world, which made me look inward for help... Now its seems that I may be running out of self-empowerment, self-luck, I'm not sure why, I am the most caring person, honest, law abiding citizen with a big heart, a humanitarian. It seems I always give help but no one is ever there to help me... So here I am with frustration, trying to get help from complete strangers and the likelihood they would help me is slim and none, but it doesn’t hurt for me to try...HERE IS WHAT I DO KNOW, IF YOU ARE READING MY POST, IT IS LIKELY YOU ARE THE ONE WHO CAN HELP...IF SO, DON'T LEAVE MY POST WITHOUT DOING SO. IF YOU DO HELP, I GUARANTEE SOMEONE WILL RETURN THE FAVOR, IT COULD BE ME! Just click on this link to send your donation to my paypal sponsor acct, they have various methods to use to send your payment:

 However, what I WILL most certainly do, not only post "THANK YOU" messages to those here who contributed to my financial need and objective, but for every donation I WILL return a favor to another Aidmember or member in need.

After two years my girlfriend left, she is military as am I.  She was in a field training with the infantry and after three weeks there she came home and packed.  Took a girl that I consider mine, and our son.  I am completely lost, broke and so confused.  She gave so very few vague reasons for leaving other than she was confused and felt she didn't love me.  That night she was in his house.  I know that something happened while she was there.  I believe she will come home but she won't get into details about anything when we talk.  I love her more than my own life.  Literally.  I'm thinking it a lot, car crash, gun... but I can't move on in this world or the next without her.  I can't leave my two oldest children.  I just need to know from a female, at 20 with two children what is going on in her head and heart.  I'd like to chat if possible.  I have questions she won't answer and love that won't stop hurting.  Someone help me please.

I need to know if anyone knows some ins and outs of financial aid (and not FAFSA b/c that is hopeless)...

Ok, I'm 23 and I'm finally( YAY!) finishing up my teaching degree...I've paid cash this far, but due to a lay off I lost my job halfway through this semester and I owe a little under a grand on this current semester(due May 5th or my grades will be dropped for classes that I have finished)...because I'm single, no kids, not military I was considered a dependant for 2009-2010 school year so FAFSA is and was out of the question(my parents will under no circumstances submit their info so this has been an ongoing battle since I started college at 18).

Does anyone know anyways around this, any funds that offer grants that quickly, anything...any and all input is sooo appreciated!!! I know that there are other people dealing with this, I just can't seem to figure out how they've figured it out.

I just wanted to let everyone know how happy I am to be affiliated with a wonderful site.I used mybankruptcyhelper.com and it is awesome- So impressed I was with their outstanding service on both my bankruptcy AND divorce, I joined their marketing staff! Check us out. I had a professional prepare my Chapter 7 paperwork for $199. First, I took advantage of a free attorney consultation (by clicking on a sponsored attorney's link) Once I received wise counsel, I took advantage of the $199 bankruptcy. And get this- They also took care of my divorce for $298 and this includes custody issues of my boys. They truly are a full service firm! http://www.mybankruptcyhelper.com

I am a 21 year old female, who is 7 months pregnant. Me and my husband don't make much money and I can not afford to continue to pursue an education. I have only 2 years to go and need a total of $21,000. My first payment of $600 is due April 4th 2009 and so far I have $50. A little background about me: My family escaped from America because the president of my country was killing and torturing whoever stood in his way. My parents feared for our safety so they brought us to the Promised Land. Ever since I was a little girl, my dad and mom made sure that our education was our top priority. Now my father is 50 years old and he works from 6am to 11pm in a gas station so we can live. My mom can not work because she suffers from severe depression which she got after 14 of her family members died in one day. So please help me get through school so I can start working and providing for my family and my baby. If you would like proof of my school balance, I will be happy to email it to you. Thank you in advance for your donations. God Bless.

About BlackDogTrans

I'm looking for a business grant for my pilot car business. It's a good business, only I haven't been able to 'fund' it the last two years (reliable transportation). I'm a full time college student engaged to a truck driver with two children. His son (10) lives here with us and his daughter (7) lives with her mother at this time. Our house is falling apart (lliterally). The foundation has sunk about a foot from the front of the house to the back. We have no stove and our water heater is running on propane. Thank God for free computers (my fiance's brother was killed so we are using his old one) and $7 a month dial up! We are on well water here (came with the house) we had a water leak and in one month ran up $1085.09 water bill (??) We both have 20+ year old cars, both on their last leg, no tags or insurance. My fiance hurt his back framing houses when he was younger and is out of work quite often. We are both having trouble finding jobs to pay the utility bills (basic phone service and electric) much less the medical. I am diabetic and have minor mental disabilities (severe Adult ADHD, Bi-Polar Disprder), breathing problems, stomach ulcers and scoliosis. Neither of us drink or use drugs (Advil is the 'hard stuff' around here) and neither of us are on any type of medication or treatment, if we get sick, we wait it out. I don't just want free money I want to fix my car or invest in a pick-up to get my business running again so that one of us has steady work. I have no clue how to go about finding a grant for this. As (technically) a single female student/business owner, finding grants shouldn't be hard to do, I simply do not know where to start. I'm thankful for what we have, but we are barely eating some months. By the way, I'm 23 and a freshman. Thank you for reading this, I really do appreciate it. God Bless, Scared to Death in OK

Comment: So far, no luck as of yet....

Note: This aidpage was started as a comment on "Home page of everlastinghope"

So far, no luck as of yet. All the people I have contacted have stated that resources are for family of autistic children, there is not any programs out there for autistic adults. I did find a scholorship, but it would still leave me in a lot of debt.
Please, if anyone can help me out in anyway, I would appreciate it. I am just so desperate and scared.
Thank you to all those who have helped. To those also seeking help, I wish you all the best of luck.
God bless,

Re: Disabled College Student, Links to Help

Wasn't sure how to respond to the fact I visited links someone recommanded. I have gotten in touch with most of the people from those links, but so far, I am told that I should qualify for SSI and to look towards the DVR for help. It looks as though I am doing all I can I am told. Perhaps this is because they really don't have anything for those pursuing higher education? I know that I was diagonsed just at the time autism was getting into the medical dictonary and that there have been a lot of research and help being opened up--unfortently, they are focusing their efforts on children. I seem to be stuck in the spot where if I had been born even five years ealier, I would not have had the resources I did had, but than again, if I had been five years later, a lot more could have been done for me and to help me out.
It makes me very disappointed that those who seem to be decicated to autism are focusing just on children. What about us adults who had parents who made sure doctors did whatever they could, despite not knowing much at all about autism and those of us who were able to benifit from those treatments despite the doctors saying it would never help?
It is as if people are saying, hey you have beaten the odds and are now higher functioning than you were but sorry, we don't know how to deal with you and well, children are more important. Its not fair and I feel bad ranting about it here, but it is frustrating to see the little help that is avaliable or known even from Autism Societies for adults. Who knows, maybe if I didn't have all the other problems, I could be better off, but I don't want to think of that.
I am who I am and my best is turning out to not be good enough. This is terrifing for me since I have a little over a year, less if my disabilities affect me as badly as they did last semester. Last semester, I was stuck in bed for three weeks because of the fibro and I cannot find any help. That is why I came here because all I want is a way where I can afford my medication, doctor bills and some other necissities. Please, if anyone has any more ideas, please share.

Disabled College Student Graduating

Hi,

I am 21 years old and am gradutation soon from college. I went to college because I really had no choice. I am autistic, bipolar, and have fibromaligia (I have a few more, these are the main ones), so I needed health insurance. With no job experience and no knoweldge of any programs to help me, I took the college route.  Over the course of school, the Fibromyalgia

has gotten to the point where I have to use a cane and have been stuck in bed for two or three weeks in a row. I have only been able to come as far as I am school because of the willingness of the teachers and being able to sumbit homework online.
Now I am about to graduate and am over $13,000 dollars in debt. Even though my disabilities affect me so much that I cannot work more than 20 hours and although that has been documented by more than one doctor/professional, I cannot get government help because according to them, I am not disabled.
I have no idea why even though I have been getting assistance from the Division of Vocational Rehibiliation (DVR), and other disability help, such as disabled housing. Once I leave school, I will not have the finacial support of the DVR.
My parents are barly making it themseleves right now and they cannot help me at all. I have no idea what to do. I want to work so badly, but it is just not physically or mentally possible to do enough to survive, let alone pay off this debt.
Please, I normally don't ask for help, but I am scared to death of what will happen and this debt is just making things worse. If you could help me out at all, I would be enternally grateful. I cannot promise that I can pay money back, but one thing I can promise is that even if I am not able to find an employeer willing to work with me, I will be doing voluntary work, helping others.
