TIPS ON FUNDRAISING

​

  • Start with your local (state) arts council. It is frequent that in many countries different  ministries offer scholarships, grants and various forms funding for their citizens to study abroad and bring international experience to their homeland.

  • Research non-governmental sources and foundations; they are also likely to give you financial support for education and professional development.

​

Tip: Funding is more likely to come in small amounts and from a number of sponsors, than from one sponsor.

​

  • Some students attending NIPAI are sponsored by their employers. Others obtain sponsorship from companies, government agencies or international organizations, educational foundations, etc. Some financial organizations offer loans at low interest rates to promising young professionals. Applicants are encouraged to investigate all possibilities available to them.
     

Charitable foundations are an often-untapped source of funding for postgraduate students.

 

  • Look in your local library at the Educational Grants Directory, Charities Digest, Grants Register and Directory of Grant Making Trusts.

  • Small awards are sometimes available to fund trips to conferences or archives or libraries, so keep your eye out for these.

 

Government funding for social work, medicine, dentistry, healthcare, and teaching.

  • Employer sponsorship or a part-time job.

  • If you work, your employer might sponsor you to take a part-time postgraduate course especially if the qualification will help you to progress at work.

  • You should ask your employer whether this is an option or whether you could take flexible study leave or flexible working arrangements.

 

Professional and Career Development Loans.

  • Professional and Career Development Loans from the government can be used for courses or training that help you with your career.

 

Graduate teaching and research assistants.

  • Some postgraduates students get jobs as graduate teaching or research assistants to help fund their courses. This can involve a lot of work – marking essays, giving lectures and taking seminars – and the pay is hourly. But it does enable postgraduates to get valuable teaching experience.

  • These jobs can be intensely sought after, so do fill in your application forms carefully with no spelling mistakes and explain how your experience equips you for the job.
