I've been debating now, for almost a year, about doing distance education courses at the Gemological Institute of America. The unfortunate thing is that Financial Aid and grants aren't an option for distance education students, but they do have a nice list of scholarships and their requirements (most of which are relatively nothing). Some give out $500, others in the thousands. This courses are quite spendy as well as the equipment they require and I kind of don't want to bury myself in student loans.
How hard is it to obtain a scholarship? I don't think their student body is that massive, but it's probably safe to assume that I am competing against others and I'm afraid that I may not stand out against some of other students (i.e. not have the connections or experience they may have in the industry) ...
Does anyone else have any experience in scholarships?
