1. Describe your work experience with award packaging. Award packaging is when the student’s cost of attendance and needed funds to attend a school are calculated to determine what award they’re eligible for (Pell grant, scholarships, work-study program, or student loans).

She was very upset about financial aid not paying for her classes and the payment was due the exact same day she visited our office. Student grumpy stated…

He knew it from the start, but he spoke from his heart, picked up support from Cliff Gibson, but they went down strongly but quietly Thursday as the University of Arkansas board of trustees voted 8-2 for a $160 million expansion to Reynolds Razorback Stadium. It wasn't denied the project most likely will be more in the neighborhood of $200 million when completed.

I believe that we are the first generation, as whole, that collectively thought about college for most of our educational career. Should I go to college? Where should I apply? What must I do or sacrifice to manifest my plans? These questions should no longer limited towards the rich, the boys, the white community, or even the most intellectually elite. I want to use my college experience to aid unlikely students in the future, specifically in science and engineering, in career-oriented…

Before coming to the liberal arts college, Oxford College, I attended Patchogue Medford High School. At this high school, I was taught AP Chemistry by Mrs. Galligan.

The Day I Choose LCC Have you ever thought about what college you would attend and how successful you would be? Well I have, as child I would imagine what college I would attend and would I be able to succeed.

children to work hard, do well, and earn a college degree, then they will get a job. Many would argue that this philosophy helped the older generation be successful in their educational and post-educational careers, so it should not be changed; however, in the words of Ken Burns, “the problem is that the current system of education was designed…

Up program was introduced, I had a fair idea of what I was intending to study, but I remained unsure and had made no further necessary decisions about my post-secondary education. The reason I had not even thought about what university I wanted to go to or what career I wanted to pursue was due to a lack of resources and guidance.

Therefore, most secondary students are entering college without an understanding of how to meet demands of college writing beyond the prescribed “standard five-paragraph essay.” Susan Fanetti’s “Closing the Gap between High School Writing Instruction and College Writing Expectations” examines the discrepancy between American high schools and their…

children on to higher education. The only hard decision a child should have to make concerning college is choosing which school is best for them after high school. If a person wants to go on to college after high school, it should not have to be a difficult decision based on a nonexistence of monetary contributions.
