funding

G

i have saved up for one year, i keep trying for my second year grant but if i don't get it, i don't think i can carry on doing my phd...are there many students out there who had to stop their studies because they run out of money???

G

Loads!

G

i know someone who stopped after 5 years... out of money, 6 months away from the phd defense...

the way i see it, it's probably not advisable to begin a doctorate unless you are pretty sure you are financially prepared for it. i myself waited seven years to apply for a PhD until I'd saved enough. (unconditionally accepted and just begun. YAY! ... oh sh*t!)

G

am starting without funding. you should as well.

G

phd drop out is absolutely waste of time, money and energy, isn't it...or i would love to hear if someone has positive stories???
