<prompt> Human: Hello! I posted in rgradschool, and they recommended I try pf for better advice. I am looking into a paid 8-month internship in Los Angeles. Itd be a game changing opportunity, and I would graduate halfway through it Sept 2018-May 2019, graduating Dec 2018, online program in library and information sciences, yes librarians are still important, youd be surprisedThe internship is 20,000 over 8 months. If this were in my southern hometown, Id be jumping for joy. But obviously, 20,000 in LA just doesnt go very far. Are there options out there for graduate students to apply for grants that are just to get me to the internship? I know private scholarships are an option to use, as well as taking out a large student loan next fallsomething I obviously would rather avoid. But Im trying to figure out as many options as I can for funding this. Obviously, this is all if I actually get it-always thinking too many steps ahead. Im sure theres vital info Im leaving out. Ask away if I need to mention something else. Parental support is unlikely, and I dont have any friends or relatives that live in LA that I could crash with. I would obviously need to afford a bed, internet, food, phone bill and car insurance.  <response>: 20,000 for 8 months is enough for many parts of LA.
