    I work at a university as a tutor of higher education writing and would like information on free means for pursuing a doctorate. I worked my way through my Master’s degree program as a tutor and am interested to know about available scholarships and grants to pursue another degree.

    Matt,

    look into doctorate scholarships which may come in the form of Fellowships and Assistant-ships through your university. Government financial aid may help you in the form of grants; or student loans – if you want to go that rout.
