[blindlaw] Funding my JD

[Melanie Peskoe]

Thank you all for the great ideas! I will leave no stone unturned in my pursuit of funding. No amount is too small. 

Thanks so much.

You just never know where jewels like this may lurk, but there is usually and administrator who does.  Good luck!

You may also want to use scholarship search engines, such as Big Future from the College Board.  Although these search engines are not oriented towards any single field of study, they may lead you to awards for which you may be eligible.  If you go that route, however, make sure that you are using legitimate search engines; watch out for potential scams.  Good luck!

I did not make the deadline to apply this year however, I will apply next year for certain. I am, of course, getting some funding from the state and the school is giving me some money also, but I still have a deficit that I am trying to decrease. Thanks in advance for any resources or feedback you may be able to supply.
