College notes...

It's official... or almost anyway... I filled out the online application to University of North Texas, to enter Spring 2009. I should be more than finished with my core curriculum classes at TCC by then. Now UNT just have to approve the application. I know, I know, if they let me in it just goes to show they'll let anybody in, right?

As long as they have the money, that is.

Speaking of which... I've spent a good part of this spring break week looking up scholarship info. Such a pain in the butt. It ain't easy finding scholarships in a niche that I fit into... I'm not hispanic, black, or a current high school student (sorry for the lack of politically-correctedness). I'm also not going into the nursing field or aeronautics. I thought there might be more scholarships for women, but the few I've found have requirements that I don't match. There was one I may be able to apply for, for women over age 30 or something like that...

UNT has a Transfer Student scholarship... but alas I waited too long- all scholarship applications had to be in by March 1. DAMN! Damn damn!

The department at UNT that I'll be entering is the School of Visual Arts (SOVA). They even have a scholarship that if you win you have to keep a blog about your first-year experience as a student. That could be fun. But again, I think I'm too late for that.

Anyway I'm still looking. Plus, I should still qualify for the Pell grant or state grants, it'll cover some of it.

Oh yeah, and loans. Dirty four-letter word, student loan. That's a last resort.

But for now, just another 9 months and 8 classes to go to finish at TCC. I'm looking forward to switching schools. Then the real fun begins.
