How Goes School

Well, I am proud to say I have filled out and submitted both my FAFSA (Free Application for Student Aid) and my WCC admissions forms. I should hear back from the college in a week or so when they've processed my application to let me know when I can schedule any placement tests I may need to take. I should also be hearing from them about whether or not there is anything else they need for my FAFSA eligibility. I hope there isn't anything else to fill out.

I won't know till July if I will get the financial aid though. The people in the financial aid office say I should receive full financial aid (a Pell Grant up to $5550 for 1 academic year). I should also receive an overview of potential federal student loans as well. I haven't discussed it with my Grandmother yet but I'm thinking if I do receive notice of getting full financial aid I may just stop the job hunt and focus solely on my jewelry making. We'll just have to see how things go... I'll keep y'all posted.

ZOMG!! I actually have news!

Today I am going out to my local Community College to turn in my admissions application and my FAFSA application. (Free Application for Student Aid). Hopefully I will qualify and be awarded enough money in grants and whatever to be able to attend school full time.

And to the whopping 3 people who read my blog, yes I have resolved my issues with going back to school mentioned in the last post. I have settled on an Associates in Business Administration as well as an Associates in Liberal Studies (means I completed 90 credits worth of college level work) for the courses that don't fit into the business degree, like Japanese, history, or art. I haven't settled on a specialty for the business degree yet but the front runners are entrepreneurship and accounting.

Wish me luck!
