As of yesterday I was admitted to Georgetown under the early action program. Obviously, the cost is a lot, a total of $55,000 a year. It’s my top choice but I’m concerned about the financial aid available. My parents make about $50,000 a year. And even with the average financial aid package of $22,000 it’s still a huge amount to pay. Even if it somehow came down to $15,000 it’s a lot. Does anyone have any experience that can offer comments or information about this?

I am currently going through some very rough times with my parents and am going to be finishing my final year of college in the 2009-2010 school year. At this point I may be either kicked out of the house or decide to leave on my own accord, but my parents pay my tuition and I need to figure out how I would be able to pay for this school year. Also, since I would technically be homeless and at the absolute lowest income level, how much financial aid would I qualify for?

I will be attending two community colleges. Both have requested documents from me so I am planning to submit the documents for both schools. Does this mean I can get financial aid from both?
So should I not bother submitting the documents for the second school?

My son’s 2nd grade class does a community project every month and this month they want to donate goods to Hurricane Ike victims. I need to find a local drop off point because the class mom does not want to have to pay for shipping. We live in NJ (close to the PA border / Easton PA). I tried the Red Cross, Salvation Army etc but they are only collecting monetary donations. The kids want to donate blankets and books and such. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

I’m an atheist, but my family is under the impression that I’m still religious. I can’t seem to get it through to them that I dont believe in God. Anywho, its forbidden to donate blood or organs in my former religion. Im on the donor list, but I think they might prevent a transplant should I die.
You guys facing something like? Thoughts?

I am currently enrolled in a course that requires a lot. Unfortunately, i am unable to devote the time that is required to study. I want to withdraw from the class so that I dont fail. The classes are paid through financial aid but unsure as to how this will affect my financial aid going forward.

how would i go about asking for donations for my senior project from local businesses? i dont know if i should just walk up there and ask in person or send a letter or call. im afraid if i dont go in person they will just ignore my letter or call.
its for school and we are required to get the items we need donated. i need PVC pipe, flower baskets, plastic jugs, fire hoses from the fire department, etc. so any advice on how to be successful at this?

When both democrats, and republicans hold fundraisers for their party, or for a candidate, and they receive money from corporations, how is this not a form a bribery?
Should only voters be allowed to donate as individuals (and have a limit)?
Should corporations be allowed to donate money to political parties?
