I still have to audition at Indiana University of PA, Mansfield " (possibly), and Susquehanna " (Possibly)

I'm in the waiting game for them now too. =P They have a $1000 double reed scholarship I am hoping for.

A year. If it was a semester, that would be amazing.

I get to do what I love, and teach others its wonders. =D

Post by: A Forgotten Legend on February 24, 2010, 05:32:08 AM: Haha. Thanks? What is the saying? Its not work if you love what you're doing? I am really hoping that is me. =P

Although, everyone does wish that was them at least once in their lives I guess. =P
Title: Re: AFL was accepted into college for music.
Post by: Darkfox on February 24, 2010, 05:52:47 AM: Well, I mean, getting to do what you love and teach others and such. I sorta do the latter but not getting much support in the former by official sources.

Post by: Fortet on February 26, 2010, 10:36:16 PM: Totally hijacking your topic. Sorry, bro.

I just got my scholarship offer. $1,030/quarter. And that's just band! Right now, I'm looking at only $2,400/year out-of-pocket!
Title: Re: AFL was accepted into college for music.
Post by: A Forgotten Legend on February 26, 2010, 11:35:34 PM: Holy crap! Thats a lot. o.O

I'm quite fine with this change of topic, as it is related to the college part. Haha

Not taking that money crap from Obama. Mmm... Way to go, Jindal :)

Post by: A Forgotten Legend on February 27, 2010, 04:59:20 AM: How much is your tutition per year?
Title: Re: AFL was accepted into college for music.
Post by: Fortet on February 27, 2010, 05:17:38 AM: Tuition alone is $1,550/quarter, which isn't bad to begin with. But when you addEnergy fees, technology fees, annual fees, books, room and board, and meals, it's (roughly) $4,059/quarter.
So, that number multiplied by 3.
$12,177/year.

Keep in mind, this IS Louisiana.
Also keep in mind that this is one of the top engineering schools in the country for the price you pay.
Of course, I'm not going for that. I'm going because they have the amazing Lawrence Gibbs. Seriously, listen to this guy play and you want to kill yourself because you're nowhere near as awesome as him. He's a pretty cool guy :)
Title: Re: AFL was accepted into college for music.
Post by: A Forgotten Legend on February 27, 2010, 05:27:52 AM: Haha. Wow.

Its about 11,000 something a year at the schools I'm looking at. =P

Post by: Apex on March 04, 2010, 03:51:19 AM: University life is fun, get involved in cool student groups. Also, if you qualify: Look into financial aid. I'm poor, and my family is poor, so Mr. Obama sends me at least $5000 a semester in grants, on top KU grants, which is about $2000 depending on how soon you turn in your forms. Money for nothing, schoolin' for free.

Off-topic: Engineers suck.
Title: Re: AFL was accepted into college for music.
Post by: Fortet on March 04, 2010, 04:07:35 AM: Yea, I don't qualify for grants.
However, I DO qualify for low-interest student loans :/

Post by: A Forgotten Legend on March 04, 2010, 04:18:57 AM: I didn't get anything back yet because we were part of the 1/3 of all applicants that were "randomly chosen* to prove their financial status. Bleh.
