My lit professor mentioned to us in class today a grant available to students who are going abroad sometime before June 2008. As I am planning to go to Paris in June 2008, I was very interested in what he had to say.

He said the only qualifications were that you had to have at least a 3.5 GPA and you had to plan to be enrolled at WSU for at least two quarters after the trip.

NO PROBLEM! I have a 4.0 GPA which I have no intention of letting drop, and my expected graduation date isn't until 2010. $1000 towards my Paris trip! That's almost half of what it costs!!!

I looked up the details online when I got home. There's one small detail he forgot. You can't have earned more than 90 semester credit hours total; transfer or otherwise. I have 155 credit hours total.

Damn.


That got me thinking.

I have 155 credit hours. Not counting the 16 I'm taking this quarter. Eventually financial aid will cap you out and cut you off. athanasios, what's the cutoff for that again? Because I'm getting scared.

I just put reserves on several books on finding scholarships. I need scholarships like WOAH.

I think it's 250. I'll have him post when he's awake again. :-)

I am so going to Paris with you. I am. My GPA is good enough to get scholarships now (thank the Gods), and I WILL get some. Oh yes, I will.
