Thanks bat21, I'm a fan of your posts btw.
cookderosa, I wish I qualified for a Pell grant. I have tried over and over. But my gross income is "too high." And it doesn't matter that I spend about 40% of my net income :eek: on health care. There's no allowance for that. That's also the ironic twist to why I don't qualify for need-based scholarships. I've long since stopped being bitter about all the inequities in the world of money, but it still gets momentarily frustrating sometimes.
I'm glad that at least some of the people who qualify for Pell grants and need-based scholarships are making good use of them.
