College is expensive and I have previously written about ways that families can help young adults gain a college degree.
Recently, our friends at the Center for Retirement Research posted a grant opportunity that is intriguing.
It is a substantial grant for young scholars to pursue research on retirement or disability policy. The grant is called the Sandell* Grant Program.
The Opportunity:
Sandell Grant Program - Sandell Grants provide the opportunity for junior or non-tenured scholars to pursue research on retirement or disability policy. The program is open to scholars in all disciplines.
Up to three grants of $45,000 will be awarded for one-year projects.
Proposal guidelines are available online. There is a deadline!
There are several methods to fund the college experience. Applying for Grants is one way to help cover the costs and to gain valuable experience. The other methods , in general, are:
Grandparents (and parents) who are in a good financial position can help by establishing a College Savings 529 Plan (qualified tuition plans)
* From the crr.bc.edu website: “Steven Sandell was a distinguished researcher, leader, and public servant… It was his dream that the centers would help produce a new generation of highly trained social scientists to shape the future direction of policy research…Steven Sandell passed away in 1999, and as a tribute to his lifetime achievements, the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College has named its grant program for junior scholars in his memory.”
