Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards

Did you realize that when you withdraw from a class it may hurts your federal aid? Isn't that ridiculous? At least I think so. As it is you are already out the money for the class, but you may get hit with a double whammy.

Federal Consolidation: Help Me Now, Hurt Me Later

David Bonvie — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 15:19:22 +0000

Federal consolidation is kinda like that craz-e-burger which consists of a pound of beef, layers of bacon, globs of cheese, and is sandwiched between a grilled and glazed donut instead of a bun.

Federal Loan Bankruptcy Claim – A Student’s Revenge

David Bonvie — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 14:58:55 +0000

Tuesday Observation I’ve heard from hundreds of malcontent students about the bailout packages the government has been handing out like beads at Mardi Gras this year. It’s not that they disagree with the plans necessarily, but rather, are asking where’s mine? I even blogged about the cash for clunkers plan last month and how those funds [...]

More Money is Not a Good Thing

David Bonvie — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 16:30:36 +0000

Friday Rant! Did you hear the good news about the 2009-2010 academic year? In addition to the increase in Pell Grant money (which is great for students), Federal Stafford loan funds have been increased by $2,000! Terrific, let’s poor more student loan debt on the children of tomorrow. Do you know what happens when the federal reserve [...]
