Graduate school funding

My name is Felicia Rock, a social worker and prospective grad student who resides in Snohomish County.  I have lived and worked here for over two years now, and have enjoyed much of what the county has to offer.

So why do I write?  After working at my job with f homeless families in transitional housing for close to a year, I felt it was time to get some more education to balance out my experience in the social work field.  I applied, and was accepted, for advanced standing at Eastern Washington University’s School of Social Work, one of the better programs in Washington state.  I will even be able to continue working and living in Snohomish County while attending school.  Financial aid is in place for the year and a half long program.  There is just one complication:  Federal aid does not cover the seminar I need to begin my post-undergraduate education.  I was informed of this two weeks ago, after several days of communication with the university.  It is a six credit 2 week class that begins at the end of this coming August.  I cannot start spring quarter without attending this seminar.  I am respectfully requesting sponsorship for this class in any amount up to the $1700 needed for tuition and books for this summer seminar.  I have tried all the conventional means, and those options are unavailable to me as well.

By beginning graduate school now, I feel that I will gain even more skills and knowledge to continue to aid the disenfranchised of this community, and later on a more global scale.  Thank you for your time and consideration.

I am definitely looking into grants, etc, I am trying every avenue I can--thanks for your advice. I think, too, that maybe there are some other lessons for me, but I have to give it my best shot!
