2. Have you considered becoming a graduate assistant or research assistant while attending college? It would help with the tuition and provide in exchange for being a graduate assistant or teaching assistant for undergraduate students. There are more sources to locate funding for graduate school, too. Both the college financial aid office and website will have a list of scholarships for graduate school. Also, there is a chance the social work website should list some. Search Google.com and Yahoo.com for scholarships for social work in Illinois. Also, join several free membership scholarship search websites. There are a number who list scholarships for graduate school including Fastweb. Good luck!
