I am looking for scholarships or grants that could help me fund my doctoral program in tuberculosis. Every year I keep getting admission but not a studentship to fund my studies. I live in India and unfortunately there are just one or two scholarships being offered for that particular university alone. My family has funded all through my education until my last masters, and I need to secure a funding for my PhD. Its extremely disappointing to get the offer letter but not a scholarship, if you could please suggest some scholarships – that would be great!

    Thanks,
    Saujanya.

      Hi Gena, I am Christa also a Black woman in LA (Pasadena) one way I know of is to align yourself with a non-profit organization/company and collaborate to write a grant for your PhD and dissertation that would serve the field and the organization. I would look up Appreciative Inquiry associations or organizations — there is one in Pasadena led by an African American woman, but there may also be Black Women’s associations in southern cal that could help. The drawback is that the topic area for your dissertation would be controlled by funders and the organization you are working with. Good luck to you!
