Don't let these posts put you off applying for funding for an MA! The AHRB (now AHRC) have recently set up a new section called Professional Development, which gives grants out to students wanting to do courses that will improve their chances of moving up the employment ladder. In the past they only gave grants for proper academic research but that's all changed. I got a maintenance grant and all my fees paid for a one year professional archaeology course from them.
My advice would be go to apply for a grant from them - if not successful, you haven't lost anything! Just spend some time filling in the application form and stress the fact that it'll improve your career!
Good luck
