Help with Oxford Masters Funding
Donation protected
Hi
Most of you reading this will know what this is all about but, for those who don't, here is my plea.
I'm Nick and I have just graduated from Oxford Brookes with a 1st in my Philosophy BA. I was also very privileged to be awarded Best Philosophy Undergraduate, at this year's ceremony. I guess, because of all of this hard work, some kind souls decided they would like to have me at Oxford and accepted my application to study a Film Aesthetics Masters in October. Unfortunately, they are also asking me to hand over just shy of £10,000 in University fees for the year, on top of my living expenses. This is why I am having to ask for some help.
Since I've only just come out of University I don't have much money to my name at all, other than what I've been able to earn over the past few months. I can't be considered for any university scholarships because I didn't apply by the January deadline, meaning I have to turn to external sources of funding. It's looking like I'm going to have to take out another big loan, plunging myself further into debt and still leaving me short of money for the year. I've been asking various educational trusts for grants and I'm waiting on their responses, but even they don't offer much assistance and the chances of success are slim. And so I turn to the internet for further help, in the hope that whatever I can get can be pooled together in some dramatic financial rescue mission.
I've worked so hard to get this opportunity and it's a really sad to think that the financial demands will be too much just because I don't have fat stacks to hand. Those who know me will know how much I love Philosophy and those who don't will just have to take me word for it; I do. The possibility that I'll be able to combine what I've immensely enjoyed doing for the past three years, with the study of film is incredibly exciting. It'll also hopefully lead to some great career opportunities, in the future. I ultimately would love to use what I learn to become professionally involved in the production or analysis of film.
I initially wasn't going to go for this because I didn't think it was financially possible but when I thought about the chance that I'd be throwing away, I realised that I have to at least give it a go. Any sort of help that you can give would be amazing and I will be forever grateful. I can't offer any sort of exciting prizes involving autographed portraits of myself or a romantic canoeing holiday for two, but if anyone has any special requests (within reason) then let me know. The best I can offer right now is that anyone who helps me out will have their name on the thesis that I'll hopefully be writing.
Thanks for your time
Nick
