I was offered to study Law at many good universities like Cambridge Uni , Sheffield and Uni of Wales. Too unfortunate I dont have anyone who is willing to help me to complete this long stopped education. I could not do well other than being a school teacher in my country and earn little. I know that I can do better only if I was given an opportunity. The government refused to even look into my admission form because I'm a non muslim. All my dreams were trashed. If anyone could sponsor my higher studies , I would be grateful lifelong. It can be a scholarship or so. Thank you.

About winemillerj

I am twenty years old and have little credit other than student loans. I got accepted and transfered to DePaul University for the spring quarter 2010 and my financial aid does not cover the cost of my classes. I am going to school for psychology with a minor in early childhood education. My main goal is to research alternative methods to medication for treating behavioral problems in children, but carreer wise I would like to get into social work or special needs education. I have maintained atleast a 3.0 throughout my time in college. I am unable to obtain a cosigner for a student loan because my parents do not have good enough credit scores to do so and due to abuse as a child have not had contact with any of my extended family in almost ten years. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I intend to apply to graduate school at the Professional School of Psychology after obtaining my degree at DePaul.

Dear aid page authority

I am subir Kumar Das. I am Bangladeshi. I have come from poor family. I have been reading in Khulna University in Economics Discipline with 4th year. With education loan from Grameen Bank from Bangladesh, i have completed my previous education but I want to have my higher education from any foreign university ( Europe continent). But it is not possible to continue this dream without managing any aid or scholarship. So  i need to get that if anyone think about my life story and make sympathy.
