Here's the way it works. (Trust me, I direct a graduate program.)\n\nGrad schools offer their top candidates a "package" which usually includes a fellowship, a research assistantship, a teaching assistantship, or some combination of the three.\n\nFellowships usually cover tuition and fees, and they also provide a stipend, which is a small (usually monthly) amount of money to cover basic living expenses. Stipend levels vary, depending on the discipline (sciences higher), and on the geographical area (higher cost of living in larger cities), and on the type of institution (private universities sometimes have bigger stipendiary budgets than public ones).\n\nResearch and teaching assistantships also cover tuition and fees, but the stipend is given in exchange for a certain number of hours of work a week (usually from 10-20), which can be either in doing research (for a professor), or in serving as a teaching assistant.\n\nGrad students often decide on the grad program they'll attend by comparing the "packages."\n\nHope this helps!

Did you do the FAFSA form.  I am kind of in the same boat.  I didn't go to school and I worked instead.  Now my FAFSA info will be based on my income of 20,000 even though if i go to school full-time I won't be making any money.  We should keep in touch and encourage each other.  I hate feeling like I have an "impossibbility complex" over something as simple as going to school.  If you can work out something to get through your first year, you will be eligible next year.  Take student loans, it should be worth it.  If you click my name, there is a link on my profile to send me an email.  Feel free!

Definitely. When a high school applicant signs his letter of intent to accept a college scholorship he is signing a contract.\nWhen a school spends so much to teach and develop an athlete he should at least hold up his end of the business agreement by finishing at least three years of college.\n\nIn the end the college athlete gets an education and learns about honoring business agreements, trust and loyalty. Otherwise, we should have football minor leagues as baseball does.\n\nI really admire athletes like Peyton Manning that stay the full 4 years of their college even though big money was offered to jump ship early. Part of that shows his strength of character and commitment which are lacking in some of the best athletes today. Besides once injury or other career changing events occur, what does the athlete do if he has no degree and other skills/training to offer a propective employer. Also, the athlete needs to know how to invest and seek other business adventures with the money he earns. Just turning ovre his money to a financial rep can lead to great losses swindling his account.\n\nLook at the difference between Manning and Leaf drafted #1 and #2 in the same year. San Diego sure learned the lesson didn't they?

He's probably not responding because there is no proof other than your word - and I would check your student handbook to see if there is a "proper" procedure for "reporting" such a situation. If there isn't, then I would approach it from that angle. Mention that there aren't guidelines and you feel that they are necessary for future students.

I am not married but have been in the military.  Figure out where he will be stationed and look for schools in the area that has your major.  You may also consider if he is how often he is likely to transfer again.  Don;t for forget about financial aid.  Once your married and dpending on his rank you may only be eligible for loans.  Well, good luck on your endeavor. Congrads

Go to work for a local university.  Tuition benefits are a common benefit at schools.  I got my Master's for free this way (though admittedly the pay wasn't great, so I guess the tradeoff was in making a crappy salary for a couple of years).

either A. he found out something about you he didnt like, like past grades or what not... or B. his wife said hell no you arnt letting a blonde girl intern with you. or C. he just wanted to do you and then decided maybe he better not put himself in that situation. ♥  its ok, ive discovered everything happens for a reason. maybe now you will get a much better offer somewhere.

These things vary from school to school.  About residency, you need to ask his school or check the website for information.  At the University of California, dependent students are considered residents of the states in which their parents live.\n\nAbout financial aid, if he is reclassified and the tuition is higher, then he will probably be eligible for more financial aid.  Of course, on the other side, he might become ineligible for any aid offered only to state residents.  The exact details will again depend on the specific school situation.  The school's financial aid office will have specific answers to this.

Why would you even have to ask that question? Why would it matter if you like someone, but oh no! They didnt go to college. That was a personal choice for him to make and he made it.

Depends on the charges.  He could get brig time for years.  If they only recommend BCD, he'll be out in six or eight months.  If it's just a threat they are using right now...  He'll probably wind up serving his full term.  The easiest way out is to fulfill your contract honorably.  Less stress makes it seem faster.

He should get more consideration.  Youre right.  However, because he's only a freshman he would lose any tie breaker to an upper classman.  All things being equal, they would give the award to a senior or junior over a freshman.  Thats just how they work.  It doesnt really matter.  The heisman is a bullshit award anyway.

Not to be the decenter here, but Student Loans and G.I.Bill, tells me he is in school.  Is he in school full time, and how well is he doing.  Take a moment and look at the big picture.  You may be looking at your future now, but then again he may be putting most of his effort into his schooling to provide for you in a few years.  The struggle may be hard now but only you know what reward might be waiting in the future.

Are you sure he didn't say MP(military police)?  Here's something to consider..you said he told you "WE" are going in the Marines.  You might want to think that over.  While pay and benefits are much better than when I was in, things would be very tight for two on what he is likely to be earning right out of H.S.  You may want to give him some time to get established and maybe take some time to have a little work experience yourself.  In any event as others have told you H.S. grads don't get to go to O.C.S.  That's the simple answer...there is a more complicated one but I'm not going into that one here lol

He won't be denied financial aid for owing the *school* money, but given what you've said here, he might be denied financial aid for another reason: something called an "overpayment."  It works like this...\n\nYou have to "earn" financial aid.  You can't just enroll, get financial aid, and then stop going.  In order to "earn" your financial aid for a semester, you have to complete at least 60% of that semester. Since you say he "just stopped going," the school will determine the date of his last day (they can ask his teachers, other staff-members, etc.).  If this date is before the 60% point, his financial aid will be pro-rated (based on the percentage of the semester that he actually DID complete) and HE will have to return any "unearned" funds to the lender or the government.  This applies to all federal grants AND loans and most state aid as well.  NOTE: you can't circumvent this system by taking an "incomplete" in or withdrawing from all classes.\n\nIf he returns this money, he can easily enroll and receive financial aid at another school.  If he doesn't return it (and hasn't completed 60% of the semester), there will be a flag on his FAFSA and he will be denied financial aid wherever he goes.\n\nSome schools deal with this a little differently.  At my school, I don't let the students "walk" with federal aid.  I return the money on their behalf so that they then owe the school and not the feds.  This protects the student *and* my office.  But your friend's school might do it differently.  He really needs to find out so that he doesn't get any nasty surprises later.

Anything you see is going to be pure speculation no matter what the links may be.  College grades are considered to be confidential.  If they aren't signed, on official university/college stationery by the registrar and don't have the official seal - they can't be real.    But, its fun to speculate since he's such an idiot and acts and talks like a moron.

I was able to get through my undergraduate degree, my MBA, and half of my law degree using my G.I. Bill.  It only really paid for the undergraduate studies (at a state school), but it was a welcome and needed allowance/expense account for the other two (private) schools.  Best deal I ever made.\n\nCongratulations on your Associates.  Keep on plugging along!

OK the one basically had it correct. You put a guy on waivers and that is just before free agency. You say Hey anyone want this dude at this contract. Every team in the league has the chance to then pick them up at that contract. If they all say nah then the player goes back to the team. If someone picks him up then they have to pay the player at the contract of the team that put him on waivers. You don't have to give them anything else. It is a little like a free agency. If the player clears waivers then the team has to figure out what to do with them but have to pay the contract. They are saying they will try to buy it out.
