Hi,
I'm in my final yr of MA in Religion Education but had difficult to find funding. I'm a lone parent, i find difficult to accept for full time phd and always been decline. I've been Christian many year but did find a lot of Theology school accept single people,couples more than lone parent, I had find accdemic school in this countries had bias to accept people with different background, espeically they offered them teaching post or proper decent work. A lot of them only in theory rather than in paractice, it is pretty delusion society. Is there any advice. I'd try to apply in some university in MA and Phd in Theology or Education but only self funding basis. Do I need to move to that University area and do they provide any accommodation and advice, I had moved house about 5 times with my child due to racial harrassment. It is really disturbing my study and research. I don't know what to do?

The reason you have been declined is less likely to be because you are a lone parent, and more likely to be the fact that you do not seem to be able to write a grammatically correct English sentence.

Thanks, sleepyhead, it sounds like an advice more than answer. i new a lot of people can speak bad language can get funding either even one is practice polygrammie class and background does affect moreshift key tien bienbravojammiecookiedoggieshift key

for starters, theology is not the kind of subject that ANYONE gets funded in, let alone foreign people who have poor english. So it's not discrimination for being a lone parent.

I would follow his advice and improve your english before applying.

Actually, I'm wondering how on earth you can remember your own username? Mine's only 4 letters and I still type it incorrectly half the time; how do you manage?

'I'm not alone, till the end of time,
The truth will tell lie,
The sinner,liar waiting to die,
In this cosmic confusing time,
Only Jesus will U why.'

I wish U can read my language and my mind,
Till the end of wartime,
Probably U reach the age of 69 with another grandchild,
This is my last message, pls do not reply and waste yr time.'
