Student Finance Tips: How To Get Funding For Your Study

As a student you are faced with the dilemma of how to finance your studies without impacting your academic achievement. Part-time work is one source of student finance, but most part-time jobs demand a lot of your time for relatively little return. Knowledge industries leverage your educational background to give you more flexibility over your working hours and location, as well as higher salaries. So how do you get part-time, knowledge-based jobs?

Freelancer sites such as StudentFinanceExpress.com, vWorker, Elance and Guru enable you to pitch for projects that can finance your studies. You can work on admin or research related tasks, or be an article writer, or even a programmer or web designer. The range of possibilities is vast.

It's not well known that English graduates or even Philosophy students can make the most impact in the search engine ranking of a website, but this is very possible. Writing quality content frequently makes the difference between success and failure for many websites, and humanities students can easily do this. So start up entrepreneurs make very good potential employers for humanities students.

As such, the internet offers the student many financing opportunities beyond the traditional programming and web design roles. Marketing students may want to start a social media enterprise, where they blog on behalf of companies or offer blogging services. The key is to get good clients using sites such as Student Finance Express, vWorker, Elance or Guru.

The only catch if you are using freelancer work to finance your studies is that you need to pay for membership for some of these sites. An alternative option is a recent site dedicated to students, called StudentFinanceExpress.com, which enables you to finance your studies by registering to get emails alerting you to paid, knowledge-driven work. Best of all, StudentFinanceExpress.com is free for students.
