Want to take post-grad, but no money upfront, advice?

So, I bet on the wrong horse. I completed a Masters in 2011 that saw me be rejected officially nearly 400 times in the job search. I temp, but it doesnt allow me to save more than £50/month (and that gets eaten up by sudden surprises).

I would like to do a new post graduate (art therapy, with a strong clinical element), and one that has far better prospects than the one I currently have.

And here is the rub: I am completely broke. Temping barely makes rent, and there is nothing left over. I have less than £30 in savings, and I am trapped in a cycle I am desperate to get out of. Grants, bursaries are wonderful, but typically they are applied for after you have been accepted and pay fees upfront - which I cannot do.

Is there *anything* I can do to get myself into this programme? I am a mature-ish Canadian (UK 'settled') student with established expenses, with little room to travel, and ineligible for a bank loan as I have not been here more than 4 years.

Cheers!
