Do y’all ever wonder where you went wrong? My college roommates are buying multimillion dollar houses. I’m really happy for them. And questioning my life choices. I can’t even afford an apartment in LA.
I should clarify, where can I point her to find dissertation completion funding? Does that exist anymore?
I need help for grant ideas/funding for an Indigenous elder culture bearer who is also a PhD candidate and needs a grant to finish writing her dissertation. Any ideas?
