Thanks PA!

For cutting my state grant in half as a full time student.

That's awesome - I'll try not to spend that 170.00 in one place.

Oh wait I will - on a book.

You don't qualify for Pell?

 

[Tayble]

Looks like you've got financial AIDS...I'm so sorry :sad:

 

[reneeb]

Yes I do but my pell grant is pathetically small like 750 a quarter and state grants are a supplement to the pell.

In md pell grants will cover community college; At University pell grants barely cover one of the student fees.

I go to a cheap state Uni. My Pell Grant basically pays my tuition.

My school is a top value for the dollar, though. Yeah!

It's still a piece of shit state uni full of yuppies though.

Just go on unemployment... As your gov. has already said those benifits are awesomely lucrative.. and are way better then working

 

[sonj]

That's a really good idea..... I think I'm going to look into welfare when I get back to college.

 

[Paxton W]

Have you applied for scholorships?

Try Fastweb and your school. I wouldn't be able to finish without them.

I thought this was a slam thread about your father. Titles can be so misleading.

 

[Just a Girl with a gutair]

Can they give you half of the book now, and put the final chapter on layaway?

 

[desm]

Or just the portions of the book you need at a reduced cost?

 

[Luckey Haskins]

I wish.

In Fall when they screwed up the release on my student aid they basically told me to go to the library and make copies of the first couple of chapters of my book. I believe my response was something along the lines of, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

I'm already on unemployment which is part of the reason why my Pell is so low. Apparently the government counts this temporary money as impacting the EFC and therefore gives me a pathetically small amount in grants.



Well, Mr. Masher, people that live in Pennsylvania frequently call it PA. I also don't know anyone outside the Waltons who refers to their father as Pa.

You could also try working for your tuition and whatnot. Will it be fun? Hell to the no. Will it be easy... no sir.

Complaining about your handout is a bit screwed up IMO. There are so many other ways to get an education. You could join the military and earn money, you could start a business get a loan etc etc. The entire country is in a bit of a pickle financially... so... be glad for anything at all.

 

[RIP MJ (miss you)]

...and finally go to college after 4 to 6 years of a crappy depressing military life?
