So I'm 28 years old and it has always been my dream to attend college and get a degree. I graduated from tech school, but for me, it's just not the same.
But I'm married and have 3 kids and we live paycheck to paycheck, and so I was starting to think I was never going to get to go!
Anyway, I just decided to go for it and I applied to the largest private art school in the country (Academy of Art University in San Fransisco) and I was accepted...But I wasn't getting my hopes up because it's $16,000 a year (which might as well be $116,000 to me)...
So today, I got my financial aid award letter that lets you know how much help they'll give you. I needed $3600 to start Summer quarter because you start with 2 classes and each class is $1800.
Sooo....I got $7200!!!!
;D
Which means that after my classes are paid for, they send me a check for the rest to spend on educational needs!
I'm a photography major, so that means I can buy new camera equipment and I'm going to buy a WAY bigger computer monitor and I can buy all the books I need and everything!
I will be going for my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography...and it's 100% online classes...They send you CD-ROM's with all your class material on them, so they're yours to keep forever!
This is one of the best things that has EVER happened to me! So I just had to share
