Crowdfunding an Oxford Degree
Tuesday, 12 August 2014
A postgraduate student at Oxford University has found a new solution to the problem of funding an extortionately expensive postgraduate degree. Crowdfunding!
Emily Eastop has proven that you really don't need Wonga but entirely funding her £26 000 masters in cognitive anthropology using the crowdfunding site Hubbub.
While some people have referred to her as a "posh brat", Emily has been quick to point out that if people are willing to fund making a potato salad, why should they not fund her degree? And if it works then why not! So far she has received money from bigwigs in the cognitive science world as well as £1 donations from people who think she's a worthwhile cause.
