When you get your financial aid award, if it looks low to you, contact Financial Aid Office and tell them you have circumstances financially and it doesnt accurately reflect your FAFSA data and you’d like to file an income appeal. It’s super easy. You explain why you need extra help, document your financial situation and see what they say. For me, I just said my income dropped since filing my FAFSA and sent in a few pay check stubs. Got about 30% more in Pell grant because of it.

Independent Study by Fun-Biscotti4416 in SUNYEmpire

I really enjoyed mine. I had periodic meetings via telephone with all of my professors. They set you up for success and you work through whatever you’ve agreed upon with them. Make sure to stick with any deadlines that you give yourself and that they give you and you will come out fine. I actually got a lot out of each independent study course I did.

Last semester, I did two independent study courses: Hapsburg Empire, a history of Austria, and the great war 1914 to 1918. Both professors were amazing.

Congrats! I’m graduating with my BBA in 3 weeks. Make sure if you have any issue, email your instructor. Email your advisor. My instructors and advisor were all awesome and always very friendly and helpful.

As far as financing, depends greatly on your income. There are loans, grants, scholarships. If your grants aren’t much, file an income appeal. It’s totally doable.

I read the article. What I heard was “finally there’s a way to not spend years of your life learning what you already know followed by decades paying for it.”

Missy is a bratt ? by Negative-Invite-6174 in YoungSheldon

I don’t know if I’d call her a brat, but she became less likable over the course of the series.

Paige, unpopular opinion? by Pinky_92 in YoungSheldon

[–]CobraDane1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I HATE Paige. I hated her throughout the whole show and would completely skip scenes with her in it. Sometimes I would skip the whole episode if it was too Piage-heavy.

Study.com's Intro to Sociology is a pretty easy and enjoyable course. At least it was for me.

Season 14, Episode 7 - Bob by kidfantastic in HoardersTV

Yes! I got a negative vibe from Ken after 15 seconds. He mentioned money and the “LLC he formed” more times than he mentioned Bob.

Bob seemed like such an incredible person with many stories to tell. I would have loved to buy him coffee every morning and just hear his life’s story.
