Thank you guys for the responses, I will definately try the avenues you suggested.

I am a 25 year old Zimbabwean and a holder of a first class MSc degree in Geophysics, I am in deep need of pursuing a PhD in Geophysics mainly in the field that affords some experience in seismic methods or Earth's tomography. All the projects that appear have funding only for mainly EU citizens, How can I get funding?
I have also sent applications for some adverts but have not been successful, How can I convince the panel that I am a capable scholar. I wish to pursue it before age catches up with me. Please Help.
