Scholarships are either for the poors, beaners, or foreigners
My last semester of American College I finished from overseas, gave me new appreciation for distance students
Shit was a pain in the fucking ass
>tfw lost a shitload of grants during my last semester because parents overreported on their taxes to get a larger return and accidentally bumped me up to a different income bracket
Ah
As a vet, you're legally an adult so you get around the 24 years of age bullshit colleges insist upon
Because you know, the colleges know anyone under 24 apparently can't think for themselves
Then again, most college and uni students stay home till they're fucking 30 these days
So maybe they're right
I had a scholarship for $2k per semester from my SAT score, I placed in the top 10% nationwide
I mean, certain vocations do require a college level education, but if you arnt in one of those you dont need it
Lost it after my second semester because of GPA
My folks are so poor anyways, I got the G.I bill and FASFA or however the fuck you spell it
Which would overpay the school, so I got a fat refund check
Plus BAH
FAFSA? Same on that
So I funded my small business that way
Yeah if you're in a higher bracket you didn't get that shit
It overpaid for the first semester but then wasn't nearly enough after
Yeah it's retarded
And it was divided as such:
my HOPE grant overpays by a hundred or so every semester so I get that check which is nice
My third semester I signed up for a dorm then lost both my scholarship and a shitload of grants
$250, 2850ish, and then the rest
Like how the fuck do you divide the amount that way
Are you mentally retarded?
🤷
They wouldn't let me back out of the dorm because I refused to accept the parent loan I was offered
But, even with just the G.I bill you get tuition covered in full and then your Basic Allowance for Housing, so any FASFA commie shit is just a private check to you because the school gets overpaid
I spent all of my car savings plus everything I earned from working through all of my study time that semester, just on fucking housing
And then Obama fucked up FASFA, so they had to make your tax return fileable for two years back to back
Yep
Which meant I also got an entire year of work for the USPS but, calculated at my broke ass no income rate from the year before
Meaning I got a massive payout again and worked, and got my BAH
And it was all legal, thanks Obama
Fug
Wish I had that option
I wish everyone did, ww3 when
Parents were earning under $65k a year combined until last year, which would be fine if they didn't have 5 kids
