"+ Help for College Beyond the GI Bill: Sites and Suggestions" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-13 11:46:36

For the Disabled — Veterans given at least 10 percent disability rating from the Department of Veterans Affairs are eligible for a program with greater benefits than the GI Bill.  To qualify veterans must demonstrate that their injuries prevent them from doing jobs they previously would have gotten.  The program rooted in WWI and part of the Vocational Rehabilitation and Employments Service () entitles them to learn new skills or go to college.  It pays tuition private or public plus an allowance of $500 to $800 a month.  Veterans also receive help with tutoring employment and various other extras.  There are 97,000 veterans enrolled in the program; more than 20 percent of them fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. Paying for Privates — Under the new GI Bill veterans can apply the cost of the most expensive in-state public college to a costlier private university.  But that leaves thousands of dollars in unpaid tuition.  The Department of Veterans Affairs is hammering out the details of the Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program.  Under the program the Government will match dollar for dollar whatever a college provides up to half the difference between cost and GI Bill benefit.  Institutions will have to sign up and only veterans with at least three years service will be eligible.  Tuition Discounts — Whether for patriotic or marketing reasons — most likely both — many private institutions have come to the aid of servicemen and women.  Pace University in New York cuts tuition by half for post-9/11  veterans enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs including online.  At Benedictine University in Lisle. Ill.. Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who pursue an associate degree in business administration or a bachelor’s in management pay no tuition.  Online programs in particular draw students from the military.  Kaplan University covers up to $7000 toward its online bachelor’s degree or $3000 toward an associate degree for up to 100 veterans a year.  Florida Tech University Online reduces tuition by 40 percent for active-duty military and 10 percent for veterans.  Grantham University grants 54 full four-year scholarships each year to physically or cognitively disabled National Guardsmen. State Help – Not all veterans must rely on the GI Bill to get to college.  State schools waiving tuition for vets include those in New York. Connectiut. Wisconsin and Illinois.  Ohio charges in-state tuition to vets from elsewhere wishing to enroll in its public colleges and universities.  Most states offer tuition reductions to currently serving members of the National Guard; 27 will waive it entirely. Trade School Scholarships — Vocational training is covered by the new bill only when it takes place at degree-granting colleges and universities.  The Imagine America Foundation Scholarship Program () which supports career and technical school education grants a one-time $1000 scholarship to veterans entering any of 300 colleges participating in its Military Award Program.  Its Leadership Award grants up to $5000 to active-duty members of the military or veterans in any accredited career school who meet certain GPA and attendance standards. Entrepreneurship Boot Camp — will take you to a consortium of business schools — at Syracuse. Florida State. Texas A&M and UCLA — which provides disabled Iraq and Afghanistan veterans practical training and mentoring in developing new ventures and running small businesses.  Candidates are not required to have degrees but are evaluated through letters of recommendation work achievements in or out of the military and desire to start a company.  This year. 73 enrolled.  The program is free including travel to one of the four business schools and meals. American Corporate Partners — Visit for a mentoring program that operates in Atlanta. Chicago. Cincinnati. Dallas. Houston. New York. Philadelphia and Norwalk. Conn.  Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are paired with employees from one of six corporations — Campbell’s. General Electric. Home Depot. Morgan Stanley. Pepsico or Verizon.  These mentors — 50 from each company — meet with proteges four hours a month for a year.  The idea is to smooth their entry to corporate America and help them leverage military skills in a business context. Outward Bound — Outward Bound () educates through experience.  It wants to build practical skills confidence self-reliance and leadership in its participants.  It also tries to teach veterans to establish supportive communities with one another and to ease readjustment to civilian life.  Wilderness expeditions for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are free including travel to and from sites in California. Colorado. Maine. Minnesota and Texas.

"Harvard gets credit crunched" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-13 11:46:11

The president of Harvard says that the financial crisis could severely damage the university’s endowment. Drew Faust warned that Harvard “is not invulnerable to the seismic financial shocks in the larger world” in a letter to faculty students and staff. . “While we can hope that markets will improve we need to be prepared to absorb unprecedented endowment losses and plan for a period of greater financial constraint,” says Faust. At present the endowment funds around a third of the universities operating budget but this figure varies widely from school to school notes that the Faculty of Arts and Sciences gets 52% of its income from the endowment whereas the School of Public Health depends on it for just 13%. Last month. Boston University instituted a hiring freeze and a moratorium on all construction projects that are not already underway. Yesterday. Dartmouth College said it was trimming its budget after its endowment lost $220 million during the turmoil. The New Hampshire school's endowment had finished the fiscal year at $3.66 billion. Brown and Cornell also imposed hiring freezes recently. Faust notes that the Moody’s investment service suggested in October that university endowments could lose 30% of their value. At the time the noted that endowment losses could combine with drops in donations tighter public funding and tougher times for students’ families. “If it was any one of these issues coming up we think higher education as a business and industry is very strong and resilient but we're now layering on multiple problems and pressures,” it quoted Roger Goodman a vice president at Moody's as saying. “It will be a new test for schools and their tuition pricing.” Comments will be reviewed by the blog editors before being published mainly to ensure that spam and irrelevant material (such as product advertisements) are not published.

"Paterno benches pair for drinking" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 14:47:58

Sophomore tight end Andrew Quarless and backup defensive back Willie Harriott ordain miss the next three to four weeks as a punishment for underage drinking citations instruct Joe Paterno said yesterday. Quarless. 18 and Harriott. 20 are still working out with the team. yeah punish a kid for doing exactly what the other 30,000 students are doing in happy valley - having a cold one with friends. Its not desire they were at a bar or frat accommodate making a scene. I too like how Joe handles these things but this is a compel. I wish they are able to go to the team. Maybe they were at practice and decided that they played better after drinking. Lord knows. I'ma exceed College Football 2007 player after drinking. And yes I experience 2008 has go out but I haven't bought it yet. Suspeneded for underage drinking but the kids with felony charges are comfort playing. I anticipate that's because Scirrotto is a star on defense so Joe Pa lets him play anyway makes no comprehend at all. Joe doesn't identify based upon whether or not someone is a star. He reviews the trouble athletes get into and if he thinks they have violated laws or team rules he suspends them. If he thinks the charges are false he doesn't. Joe has been doing this for years suspended all-Americans such as Giuseppe Harris (Franco's brother) for an entire year. Harris's only infraction was falling below Joe's own academic standards for the team. Harris was eligible under NCAA rules. Like Joe or hate him. But don't try to claim he metes out discipline based upon whether someon is a starter. JoePa is not Bobby Bowden. Everybody at Penn express does this.. it doesn't make it right but that needs to be taken into account. That said nice bring home the bacon by Joe. He places a lot of emphasis on discipline and I'm glad he's maintaining that policy. I would like to retract my mention about Giuseppe Harris in my previous blog. I received two calls waking me and my wife up in the lay of the night last night by someone who would not identify themself but claiming that I had written something about them that was completely false. Since this is the only communicate that I undergo ever identified someone in and I do not undergo anything but my memor to go on. I will withdraw the comment. What I wrote was based upon my own (admittedly often faulty) recollection of events from nearly 30 years ago. If I was incorrect which I am quite willing to admit may be the case. I apologize. (My point was about JoePa not Mr. Harris. That point I rest behind.)Now whoever called me please forbid the harrassing calls in the middle of the night.

"Troubled safety may return to Lions" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 19:16:49

A judge yesterday dismissed five of the seven charges against safety Anthony Scirrotto stemming from an off-campus fight in April a move that could back up his uncertain status on the football aggroup. Reserve defensive tackle Chris Baker still faces charges of burglary and criminal breach both felonies; simple assault a misdemeanor; and harassment a summary offense coach Joe Paterno had said that he would not end on a punishment for Scirrotto and Baker until their legal proceedings were settled. Taking this kid approve would do change surface more to tarnish Paterno's rep and the Penn express schedule - and make it just desire the be of the Miamis and West Virginias of college football. I undergo a 3 week old TD that only 3 people have voted on b/c of TURFgeek so please take a be at that. Thanks. | | | Copyright &write; 2007 Time Inc. A measure Warner Company.
