Rave: Excess financial aid

[ThatGuy]

After buying my textbooks the last few days, it was inexpressibly awesome getting an email that said, "Your excess financial aid in the amount of so-and-so dollars has been deposited to the financial institution of your choice."

Granted, the amount I got isn't that much in the long run, but for a lowly college student this is like hitting the lottery.

I'm going to buy a Dr. Pepper to celebrate.

If Dr. Pepper is a key word for a case of beer then ok.

I once went and bought a Fender Stratocaster upon learning this news. The wifey was not impressed.

It's not. I could always go buy a big screen TV or something.

I would just be doing my part to stimulate the economy, right?

It's the responsible thing to do for yourself and the country. In four months you'll have a couple of t-shirts, some Chipotle wrappers and beer cans to show for your winnings. If you get an HDTV now, it will still look as glorious in four months as the day you bought it, and you'll find a way to buy the rest of that crap as you go.

Yeah I was approved for a pell grant one year and after all expenses were paid there was still like $1,200 left over, and they cut a check for that amount and gave it to me.

This was back when I made $200 a week at Wal-Mart, so yeah that was like hitting the jackpot.

Yea, financial aid seems to be getting better. I just got a Pell grant this year and between that and scholarships and a SLU grant, I'm only paying $6000 for the semester
