I have spent approximately 50 hours researching grant and scholarship opportunities to cover the cost of my Masters program. Unfortunately, I am in graduate school, Caucasian, my father is not a disabled military vet, and all of my "volunteer" community work was done internationally. It has gotten so bad that this morning I actually submitted two entries about the Easter Bunny just to earn $1,000. First, I played the role of financial adviser for Mr. Easter Bunny who wanted to put his 100 kids through college (en vitro gone bad?)....and apparently, telling him that it was useless to look for scholarship funding wasn't going to win me any awards. Then, I proceeded to write a "fuzzy and warm" poem about the Easter Bunny. And this scholarship was only offered for graduate students!!! What's the use of ability or need assessment when you can write fuzzy poems?!
Unfortunately, I don't qualify to apply for the Seventeen Cover-Girl Award Program; although, I would have given it some thought if I was planning for my college education when I was 12-years-old.
I'm beginning to wonder if internet research isn't the best way to pursue graduate school scholarships.

Hey, we are going to Gunacoste (sp?) in June, any recommendations? Been there?
Ok, Janelle, I don't know how to get a hold of you since your profile is set on private. But yes, I've been to Guanacaste & yes, I've got suggestions!
