I am looking to finish my Master’s degree in Europe and will need money to finance it. The U.S. Government won’t fund overseas education (unless the credits are being transferred back to the U.S., which they won’t be), so I’m looking for an alternative to school loans. I’ve thought about selling a couple of quilts I’ve made and some knitted items, but I need "big" money — ranging from $15,000 – $20,000. Any ideas?
It’s also probably important to add that I will be starting school in January 2008 and that scholarships/grants may not be an option (I already received a Fulbright grant in 2003 and had to apply one year in advance).
Thanks!
Have you tried looking for scholarships in the country you are looking to study in? They may well offer scholarships to foreign students, or there may be a specific fund for American students at that particular university.
Universities in your home country or abroad may be interested in you committing to teach there after completing your masters, and they can help with funds (subject to your signing a long contract which would be very difficult/impossible to pull out of). I know a few people who have received funding for uni. in this way.
I planned to get a scholarship via a program my state offers. However, I got a C in one class (honors class), and was automatically disqualified for it. I have a 4.34 GPA, and am hard working. Is there a military program that will give me a scholarship?
What is this?

You can get info about such college scholarships and grants online here – careers.scienceontheweb.net
I’m qualified for the SC LIFE Scholarship, which is $5,000 a year. I may join the National Guard with "College First", which I’ve heard pays around $4,500 per year. Will I be getting both of these?
yes
edit- To the person below me, the Army College First is not a VA benefit and does not effect anything else such as GI Bill, Army College Fund, etc. It is considered income.

Attendees and Friends of Women In Aviation Discuss the Pending Pilot Shortage
As the 19th Annual International Women in Aviation (WAI) Conference drew to a close, all the statistics pointed to the organization’s biggest Conference ever. Women in Aviation, International is a nonprofit 501(C)(3) organization dedicated to providing networking, education, mentoring and scholarship opportunities for women (and men) who are striving for challenging and fulfilling careers in the aviation and aerospace industries. “By all accounts, this has been one of the most exhilarating and successful conferences we’ve had,” said WAI President Dr. Peggy Chabrian.
Highpoints
Attendance reached a new high with 3,320 women and men registered. More than 250 of the Conference-goers were from the military, also a new record.
The Exhibit Hall was the biggest ever with 151 separate companies and organizations on display, representing all aspects of the aviation community
Nearly $700,000 in scholarships was distributed to WAI members at every stage of life from university students to mature members seeking a mid-life career change to aviation.
The WAI silent auction raised $28,000 for WAI’s Endowment Fund, also a new record, bringing the total in the Endowment Fund to $563,000. The money in the Endowment Fund is used for scholarships.
The 20th Annual International Women in Aviation Conference will be held at the Hyatt Regency in Atlanta, Georgia, from February 26-28, 2009.
Great news, indeed… but all may not be well on the pilot front… especially with alarming studies suggesting that there is a serious pilot shortage on the horizon… one with the potential to impact the aviation and air travel world in dramatic ways.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) estimates that the airline industry may need as many as 17,000 new pilots every year… just to keep up with industry growth and attrition. And while IATA hopes that increasing the retirement age to 65 will help the shortage, it is but one part of an increasingly problematic puzzle.
So… what’s happening out there. Is there a shortage? What can we do about it? How will it affect us all? Aero-TV asked the men and women who attended the 2008 Women IN Aviation convention for their opinions, insights and thoughts on the subject… and here’s what they had to say.
