Christine, I'm so happy for you,glad it's working out. Will you have enough to cover all your books now? You seem really determined to get your education. That's wonderful.
Good Luck,
Janice

Yes! the book total comes to 230. and i have enough to cover that. And it's a little more for the fees ... but my dad said he'll cover that, so I'm doing real good!

YAY! Well done, and I hope you enjoy studying. Put your money in your head - noone can take it from you there.

If you ever need a heads up on Australian History, especially on indigenous Australians, let me know!

In situations like this, you HAVE to be persistent! I'm just counting my lucky stars that I was able to get the help.

This year I'll have to work my bum off so that I can get a scholarship from the school and so on!

My son's girlfiend was denied a grant, and had to drop the classes she was going to take thru the summer and then in the fall...she will go back to college in January after she has made some more money to pay for classes...She should be able to get some more aid because she has moved out of her mothers home and is on her own. She was only at home because her Mom is a widow and needed the extra income from the rent she paid her.
