[quote]7. So maybe Klingon doesn't count as a foreign language, but if you plan to study it at college (the Klingon language, that is), you can enter the Kor Memorial Scholarship given by the Klingon Language Institute. Familiarity with Klingon not required. Go to http://www.kli.org/scholarship/ for details. [/quote]

haha?

Pfft, you can get scholorships for crap like that, and I'm going to have to work my ass off to pay for even a crappy college.

Yeah, I work nearly full time during school to pay for mine.

Note quite, there's exactly one type of person that doesn't get one for anything: a white average male with no physical disabilities.

an average male or female who is willing to join the army, you mean?

I got about 3500 dollars saved up for my college at the moment. I plan on going here http://www.durhamc.on.ca/ for Graphics/Anitmation and Programming. Cant wait for these damn years of grade school to end though. Its going to be quite alot of money for it all, the Animation course is 8000 and the Programming is 4000. All that plus tuition. (spelling). Ohwell, money isnt really an issue.

Actually you don't even have to join the Reserves or anything just enroll in the ROTC program while going to college and can easily get 1/4 - all of your college payed off for. :p

Keyword Army , My bestfriend enlisted right after his HS graduation, they gave him a 32k dollar check for college, then quite a bit of money for his sign up bonus and such, as to my other buddy that recently just got back from the marine corps, is almost flat ass broke :p

Too bad you don't live in California, iago. We have a program called "Cal Grants" and you can earn up to $10k from that. And there's a scholarship near me that basically gives $4k to anyone within a 25-mile radius of the courthouse (the "Rosenhouse" fund). There are lots of obscure scholarships out there, you just have to keep an eye out.

Every branch of the military gets the same benefits. You know why? Because they are all controlled by the same government. That is not to say that all the branches will not try and screw you out of college money though... My cousin joined the Army and did not get his college funds because he forgot to sign some papers. It has nothing to do with what branch you join, but has everything to do with how well you cover your ass.

Personally I think you should go through college before you join the military. That way you are guaranteed to get it done before you are thirty, and you can just have the military pay off your student loans. Plus you can go in as an officer.
