If the education is essential or semi-essential for earning a livelihood, and the questioner finds no alternative to asking people for its completion, then it is permissible for her to ask. However, if the education is not essential, or if it can be postponed without harm until its expenses are available, then it is not permissible to ask people for it. The questioner can assess her situation and determine whether her education is essential or not, and whether she can postpone it to cover its expenses without asking people.
