Do you know you're probably paying more for college than you need to?

When it comes to federal financial aid, most of us are familiar with the widely known
Pell Grant and
Perkins Loan
programs. However, there are hundreds of other college
money programs available from the U.S. federal government that the financial
aid offices don't always tell you about.
For
example, the AmeriCorps
Program, (800) 942-2677, is a national service that allows students
of all ages and backgrounds to earn money for school by becoming
a volunteer. You can serve before, during, or after college and
use the funds to pay for college tuition or repay your student loans.
Every
year our federal and state governments hand out over $342 billion
(of tax-payer money) in the form of project grants, scholarships,
loans, fellowships, internships, study and job training programs
and
even day care services for college students! … and yet
72% of the students that are eligible for these services don't even
apply! Why? Because most don't even know they exist.
That's right! Whether
you're a college student, an artist, musician, non-profit organization,
an entrepreneur, physician, scientist, farmer, fisherman, or a U.S.
Veteran, the United States Government has a grant, loan or assistance
program for you!

Features nine paintings, a history, and a chronology of the life of this ingenious Dutch painter. Van Gogh was 27 years old when he decided to become an artist after unsuccessful attempts at being an art dealer, a teacher, and a clergyman. He taught himself mostly by studying the prints and reproductions he collected. The paintings he produced before his death at age 37 set the direction for many of the expressionist tendencies in 20th century art. (National Gallery of Art)
