Financing Your Education
November 9, 2009 – 11:11 amPeople all over the country are dusting off their book bags in preparation for their return to school. Others have already re-enrolled and are matriculating through programs. Whether you are a new college student or returning student, the Foundation Center has resources to help you find funding for your education:
- Use the Foundation Center’s online database, Foundation Grants to Individuals Online, for free at any of our library/learning centers to find information on foundations and other grantmakers that award grants directly to individuals. To access the database from the comfort of your own home or office, low monthly, quarterly, and annual subscription rates apply.
- Take advantage of the free online course offered through the Foundation Center’s web site that guides you through the process of seeking financial support from foundations to pursue your studies.
- Visit the Frequently Asked Questions section of our web site to get answers to common questions about scholarships, fellowships, and more.
- Enroll in our free in-person class, Finding Foundation Support for Your Education. Be sure to check the the Foundation Center-Atlanta’s online calendar for the next class offering.
- If you can’t make the in-person class, then take the Finding Foundation Support for Your Education webinar. Better yet, watch a free recording of the class on demand.
The Foundation Center offers a plethora of opportunities to learn about individual grantseeking. Now it is up to you to put forth the time and effort to complete and submit your applications. The ball is in your court!
