Answer Hi Rachael,
Congrats on all of your successes! I suggest starting with your university to see if they have some scholarships or grants available. Don't just check the website; actually give them a call as there may be some monies that are not "advertised." Next, see if any of the professional organizations you belong to have any scholarships. Think about community organizations such as Toastmasters or Rotary Club. There are few opportunities available for terminal degrees: I know because I am in the same situation. I eventually got a private education loan.
