After high school grad im going to go live with my disabled grandparents..its a win for win sitch I get to give back to them what they’ve done for me by staying with them (ultimatly keeping them out of the nursing home at least a another year! or more hopefully!) and go to college at the 2 year about 7 miles away…they get someone to stay with them that they can trust for once..while im going to school only 2 or three days a week hopefully– im going to get part time job at least to pay my bills…i want to get medicare to pay for them someone to sit in while im away..already have a canidate picked out..and i want to take some courses in that too so i can be ready if something were to happen to them as well..ya know the medical or whatever training you have to have to be qualifeid for that medicare job..its like a summer course…anyway was wondering by any chance could there be a scholarship or grant to pay for those classes or even to put a grant towards my schooling or a housing grant to help pay the bills while living with the grandparents? just wondering since there are grants for just about everything!
trying not to take out a loan to fix up the basement..they have no spare bedroom! so i have to turn the basement into one! fun task huh? any advice on this as well much appreciated
collegefinder.yoll.net – try this site. It has info about different US scholarships for college students and their grades requirements.
I want to join the marines after college and I’m hoping to land a military scholarship for a&m, major in mechanical engineering and do rotc, then head off to San Diego for a few weeks of "fun and games". My dad suggested I look in to military academys. They seem like a good idea but I figured getting a full ride and being an officer is just as good, right?
The US Military Academies (USAFA, USNA, USMA, USCGA, USMMA) are the toughest college admits in the nation. Plan on showing a HS 4.0 (with a solid prep. curriculum), top 2% SATs, APs, tremendous recs., awesome community service, maybe a nice Varsity letter or serious intramural commitment, student government office, and a whole lot more. It is tougher to get in at the academies than it is to get into Stanford, Harvard, Chicago, MIT, or Princeton.
When you have all of the above, then you need to be recommended by a congressman, senator, or the President (unless you are the son/daughter of a CMOH medal).
N.B. If you do not have the aforementioned requirements and credentials, you won’t even get to the first committee meeting.
Good luck…that is a very tough road.
I am a junior at a high school in West Tennessee. I am currently the top student in my class and I am active in several activities outside of school.
My dream is to go to the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and major in Motion Picture and Television. The annual budget for an undergraduate student is around $31,000.
My parents make a little over $100,00 annually, but they have told me that they cannot afford to pay for much of my college. In between scholarships, grants, work-study and small student loans, would it be entirely unrealistic of me to raise enough money each year.
I am incredibly uncertain about the scholarship scene, how easy it is to win money, and whether or not it could cover a fraction of the costs. My dream is to attend this school, and I would be willing to do whatever it took to accomplish my goal.
I’ve gained an impressive collection of bookmarks to scholarship searching websites, but I’m looking for a real-world answer. Thanks!
You will have the most luck at scholarships going directly to this school and asking them. Because of your parents high income, I doubt you would qualify for grants or work study at any school.
I also worry that most outside sources of scholarships will not be impressed with your school choice the "Academy of Art" does not exactly scream Academia. Sorry – just real world answer and option for all it’s worth. Have at least 5 schools with varying degrees of cost if you can’t come up with scholarships that will go anywhere and not just the school that issues them. Make sure you list state schools as well if your folks aren’t going to help you.
Also a word of warning about an expensive school like this, even if you do manage to scrape together 30,000 for your first year, you will have to continue doing it for the next 3 years. Kids are sometimes so pleased they accomplished this the first year they forget they are going to have to keep doing it and drop out after a year or two for lack of funds… then they are a drop out with a debt of 60K and nothing to show for it but loan payments they can’t afford.
I’m a Florida resident, but I’m stuck in New Mexico since my husband is in the Air Force (who knew they had a base in the middle of nowhere? lol). I actually found a university to attend, and I’m applying for military spouse scholarships, but I was wondering-since I can’t get a New Mexico scholarship (I’m still considered a Florida resident), do they have scholarships for Florida residents that can be used OUTSIDE of Florida? I mean it sounds like a dumb question, at least it would if I was still IN Florida. But since I’m not still there, you would think that I would qualify for some sort of Florida scholarship for Florida residents. Or is there nothing of that nature? I’ve been looking online, but with no success. I already filled out a FAFSA, I’m looking for any kind of grant or scholarship possible. Thanks!

Jonah’s Gourd Vine: A Critical Analysis
Zora Neale Hurston was born in Eatonville, Florida. When Hurston turned
fourteen she left her hometown to work as a maid and traveled with Gilbert and Sullivan
theatrical troupe. She entered Howard University in 1923, and shortly after she published
her first short story in Stylus, which was the university literary magazine. After winning a
scholarship to Barnard College in New York City in 1925, she studied anthropology under
one of the most renowned anthropologists of the era Franz Boas. She continued her
studies with Boas after graduating in 1928 at Columbia University.
Being in New York and becoming involved in the Harlem Renaissance, she
established friendships with other important black authors and published short stories.
Hurston founded Fire!, with other black writers and Langston Hughes. She returned to
her hometown for folklore, after having the assistance of fellowships and a private grant
from a New York socialite interested in “primitive Negro art.”
The result of the anthropologic field that Hurston has, she wrote Mules and Men.
What the teller calls “lies“, is the folklore, which this story includes. Voodoo practices are
mentioned and described in the story. The information on folklore practices were praised
by critics of that time. Hurston’s first novel was Jonah’s Gourd Vine, which was
published in 1934, combined her knowledge of folklore and biblical themes.
John was an adopted son of a shift-less, scam-prone sharecropper that treated him
very well. His biological father was a white plantation owner, where he worked and
flourished. He was treated better with his adopted family than he was at his actual home.
It was made sure that John had new clothes and an education.
John became beyond his own control, and was compared to the gourd vine and
eventually withers like it in the end. He was young man who loved too many women for
his own good. Being a victim of this, he falls in love with a girl named Lucy and ends up
being with her for as long as they live. She was loyal to John even when he was unfaithful
to her. When he was being hot-headed, she was calm and patient with him and
understanding.
Eventually, John finds himself preaching at a Florida congregation, and despite his
indiscretions, he was doing a lot better than he thought. Even after becoming the popular
pastor of Zion Hope, his sermons and prayers for cleansing rouse the congregation’s
fervor where there, and then John has to confess that though he is a preacher on Sundays.
He considers himself as a sympathetic portrait of a man and his community.
In the future, John and Lucy have seven kids, and they live a happy life. Later in
life, Lucy dies and John is just like Jonah and his “protection shield” is down that she had
provided for him. John has realized that faith, tolerance, and good intentions cannot
resolve the tension between the spiritual and the physical.
What I should like to conclude wit is the hypothesis that one reason Zora Neale
Hurston was attracted to the scientific conceptualization of her racial experience during
the late twenties and early thirties was its prima facie offering of a structure for black
Folklore (Hemenway 212).
Unquestionably, Their Eyes Were Watching God is the prototypical Black novel of
affirmation; it is the most successful, convincing, and exemplary novel of Blacklove that
we have (Jordan 6-7).
It might first seem natural for a preacher’s daughter to meet up with emotional
difficulties when moving from Christianity to African derived Hoodoo (Southerland 25).
Here in [“Jonah’s Gourd Vine”] there springs, with validity and vitality a fresh
note which, to this commentator, is unique. As a matter of fact, not even excepting
Langston Hughes, it is doubtful if there is any literary precedent for the particular type of
accomplishment that characterizes “Jonah’s Gourd Vine.” (Hurst 7) The author’s
treatment of whites is as natural and without change of key as it would need to be if she is
to succeed in keeping universality the dominant note of her book (8).
“Jonah’s Gourd Vine” can be called without fear of exaggeration the most vital
and original novel about the American Negro that has yet been written by a member of the
Negro race. No amount of special knowledge of her subject, however, could have made
“Jonah’s Gourd Vine” other than a mediocre novel if it were not for Miss Hurston’s
notable talents as a storyteller (Wallace 6-7).
sorry. guess i didnt expect comments but uhm the paper isnt finished yett.duhh. thats whyy i saved it so i can print it off else where
Go ahead and save it. You will get a B-. You didn’t cite enough. There is alot of info in there that is obviously from a book with no reference to where it came from. Your MLA formatting is pretty bad. But you look like you tried, so unless your teacher is a dick you will get a High C or Low B.
It’s a scholarship for children of military personnel. How do I find a sponsor?
