I have been accepted to do a PhD. But I can't get any funding. For the last couple of months, I have tried all. I sent out my proposal to a thousand of organisations/individuals. As an oversea student, £8k a year is too much...i am so stressed out, desperate and depressed now. i haven't even started the course. Pls advice. Thanks.

What about the university finance office of the university you've been accepted to ? Often they can be very useful for information on sources of funding. Also ask whether it is possible to do any work whilst you're doing your PhD, marking, tutoring etc and see if that could be a viable option.

Take it easy,man, hold on and try more!

Thanks but the uni finance office wasn't helpful. If I go into debt, I won't be able to concentrate on my thesis...I really don't want to give up as I have been offered a place.

try wishing...wishing a little harder everyday

i am also looking for fundind for phd keeep looking

I've pretty much given up on funding - even my lecturers say there isn't much around in my field. Going to do it P/T and work.
