[quote=squat300][quote=Blogstar]My parents were both deceased by the time I was 21. I was in the Navy until I was 23. When I got out and got a full time job then enrolled in college I could not get financial aid because I made too much money!
Lots of ethnic groups, born here and new arrivals who lived with their parents were getting free money every year. In Physics and Calculus it was mostly Asians. White kids who still lived with their parents in nice middle class homes were getting money on some terms. That was when I became a political agnostic.[/quote]
Nowadays it seems like some vets kids get a total free ride. That also seems to me to screw up the market price since they won’t care what tuition is as they’re not paying it[/quote]
I was in at a bad time for FA. I was to put in $2,700 from pay and get $8,100 for school. Had to spend the $2,700 on my dad’s funeral. Now they do have great benefits. Something like $2,000 for housing allowance and I think tuition get paid too. Not sure. I don’t think they have to pay any back if they drop out. Some that I see seem to be milking it for a while for the fun of it. Not that I blame them. It just doesn’t jive(or is it jibe) with national financial dire straights. Besides that the wars were bullshit. We are screwed.
