| − | '''College tuition - scholarships and federal grants'''

| − | The weekend is long gone and I still have no students asking for advice. Glad to email me your questions, I beg of you! That's partly my weakness, because I'm silently slacking off on advertising this blog. There's a warning for all students elsewhere. Don't slack off. I've lost interest in studying in college. It works to save time, but later it wants the hours back to tick you off. Try to implement compact ignition methods right away while you're still turning around, otherwise when you're in your twenties and working full-time, your determination is just counting on ways to get the job done without actually working https://essaywritinghelp.pro/do-my-essay/ .

| − | Moving on to today's pitch: Getting paid because college. Getting money for tuition and living expenses is the single biggest challenge you face, perhaps more difficult than getting into college. If you lost your way because you were a seminary supervisor and got caught up in the street odd grades, your chances of getting ready are not as good. But you listened to your teachers and parents with optimism and went far in school.

| − | In Florida, there is something called the Florida Alight Futures Scholarship. Based on your grades, SAT / ACT scores, and community overhaul, every high school graduate can get a 75% know-how for preparation or a 100% + scholarship for books. Florida is great when it comes to giving every student the opportunity to go to college. Every time I ask the question. I'm not comfortable with how other states are set up, but I believe there are equivalent grant programs in every situation.

| |
| − | Scholarships are what every high school student needs. Tuition can be unusually high, depending on where you go to school and how many classes you take. Intent, stripped of the glory of school, cost a lot more money. Limited access schools will also be more expensive. Scholarships give students the know-how to pay attention to college on someone else's dime. Pretty flavorful number, huh?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Not all scholarships are based on economic conditions, as most people think. Usually, students who need financial aid at will are given a vicarious entitlement when it comes to getting the drug; however, that doesn't happen very often. Don't be hesitant about the question of scholarships. Consult school counselors, parents, teachers and friends, or professionals at https://essaywritinghelp.pro/do-my-homework/. You'll be surprised that the party your parents are calling for is pretty advanced scholarships. Unchallenged if only after $1,000, that is, even though the money is not capped, you can't refuse.

| − |
| |
| − | Scholarships also don't limit incoming freshmen. Sophomores, juniors and seniors are worthy of scholarships. In cases where students tear down the upper rungs, they get scholarships to further reflect on their definitely bigger projects, such as majors. Visit your school's financial benefits workplace for more information.

| |
| − | One of the most outstanding, if not the most useful resources because of know-how information. Every student should influence them. Yes, the high school student plane. There are thousands of scholarships that are not awarded every year. So influence that networking time (when you're probably done reading) and spin it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Another way to get tuition money is from Uncle Sam himself. No, not your mom's half-brother, who you dream about at the worst possible Memorial Day barbecue. I'm talking about the government of the United States. The federal government provides ready-made students to self-governance. Grants are adamant depending on how many dollars your parents make. You must fill out a form at your instructor's monetary service center. Every scholar needs this. Even if your parents make $500,000 a year, chances are you are still worthy of a free grant. A transfer is money you don't possess to retaliate. Always.

Revision as of 15:37, 3 January 2022
seems more like flares (which distract) than caltrops (which physically impair) to me. 162.158.222.122 16:31, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
I'd say "Well, I now know what I'm doing for the next few hours!", except that I suspect that this isn't even going to be the half of it... 141.101.98.46 16:37, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

except 'caltrops' is a funnier word than 'flares' and we get the gist anyway. 108.162.237.4 17:23, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
no WAY randall is a jon bois fan

Flares draw fire to prevent missiles from reaching their target. Caltrops impede the actual motion of the vehicle. If the links are as distracting as Randall implies, I think his choice makes sense!
108.162.215.92 00:34, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
Flares do " draw fire" but because they are more visible to heat seakeking missiles than engine jet engine heat. This seems like a solvable problem, missile and flare wise.162.158.75.202 03:44, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
Shouldn't the links be given as QR codes rather than plain text, which would have to be read and re-typed into a device with a suitable web browser? 108.162.219.28 00:54, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- Having to type the URL would be more distracting to driver of the car behind? And it's not like it is exactly easy to aim your phone camera to and read the QR code on a flying banner from the car in front of you, in addition to using smartphone mean traffic law violation. And text in URL also spoiler the link content a bit to invite interest. 172.70.49.196 02:45, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- QR codes for urls are more a marketing ploy. The usage for typing urls into a webbrowser can be as easily done by an OCR algorithm on the camera image. Sebastian --172.68.110.118 12:02, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- Plain text (if it contains interesting words) will catch the driver's attention. QR codes are easy to ignore.
It looks like "List of Fictional Colors" used to exist but was deleted late July 2020 172.69.33.119 04:11, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
I have nothing useful to add but wanted to point out that "as easily distracted as me." is grammatically incorrect - it should instead be "as easily distracted as I." 172.70.100.54 13:25, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- XKCD 1576 OhFFS (talk) 14:53, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
- Firstly, no native speaker of English says "as [whatever] as I". Secondly, the whole phrase, "someone as easily distracted as me", not just "someone", is governed by the preposition "by". See §8 of the article on "as" in H.W. Fowler's A Dictionary of Modern English Usage (1926) for case after "as". 198.41.238.107 21:01, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
- Without referencing Fowler's thoughts, I would suggest "...someone as easily distracted as I am." would work. In fact, I'd prefer it. (But there might be a US/UK divide, or similar dichotomy. Like choosing to answer "Do you have <a thing>?" with either "Yes I do." or "Yes I have.") 172.70.162.147 23:13, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
The wikipedia list should have a warning before it due to a HIGH nerd sniping potential. No doubt that was the intent. --Hman
It's a legitimate technique. I've been trying to read this explanation page for 48 hours but it keeps sending me down a Wikipedia hole that I have to dig myself out of. Xseo (talk) 10:14, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
