I am an exceptionally hard working clinical psychology doctoral student.  Asside from classes, studying, and working on my dissertation, I spend a great deal of my time volunteering in the community (domestic violence shelters, various children's charities, and an organization that helps adults with severe and persistent mental illnesses become active members of the community).  I am beyond financially stressed right now, my school made a huge error with my financial aid, and while I've managed to get the financial aid office to fix the problem... I won't see the financial benefit of that until my next disbursement in January.  By that time I will have been evicted from my apartment.  I am working 3 part-time jobs on top of going to school and am trying my best to fix this problem.... but I feel like I am drowning and I don't know what else to do.  If there is anyone who can help me... please, I would be eternally greatful!

I am a 26-year-old female that has been accepted to Boston College School of Social Work for the Fall of 2006.  I need financial help!!!  I know that loans are an option, but I am afraid to take out more loans, as I already have loans from when I was an undergrad.  Loans dispersed after completing the FAFSA also will not cover the total cost of living in Boston and attneding BC.   I desperately want to attend BC next year because it is a wonderful program and it would be the opportunity of a lifetime.   I want to be a social worker so that I can help people in need, mainly children.  I am committed to a life of serving those who struggle to improve themselves, but simply need a hand in getting there.  I was adopted as a child, and I am particularly interested in working with children in foster care, and/or who are dealing with difficult life circumstances.  I have many ideas of how to use my MSW to help people.  I just need a little financial help in getting through school.

I would like to find grants that would allow me to purchase/build a home in South Texas for a family of four.  I am going to attend grad school full time, and my husband would like to return to college to earn his first degree.  We are living with my in-laws, but we really need more space.  I have been a school teacher for thirteen years, but I  plan to pursue my education on a full time basis, hence my search for grants.

graduate student survival

    I need money to survive. I am a graduate student in a small midwest town. I have had to work for free and accumulated a huge student loann amounting to 50,000. My father's financial situation is not very good and I find myself struggling to survive. If anyone is willing to help a poor struggling graduate student I would appreciate it.
