If I had an extra $500, I would use it to pay for my practicum class this fall semester. I work for a low income school as a speech-language pathologist, while I attend graduate school full time on-line.  Although I work, it is impossible for me to pay for my tuition without loans (low income schools and a low income district do not pay well). I work with children who, without my help might not have all the opportunities they deserve. I love children and I love helping them, this extra money would assist me in finishing my degree so that I can continue to help children with speech-language related issues.

 If you are interested in online programs, University of Phoenix has programs online. It operates where you take one course every five weeks, and depending on your situation, you can receive credit for things that no other college or university would give credit for. Take for example if you are a stay-at-home mother, you can receive credit for studying your children's psychology. Univerisity of Phoenix is worth looking at!

$500 will help me pay for all the application fees to the colleges I plan to apply to and for the college board admission exam fees.

Extra $ is needed during this time of recession. They say the recession is almost over but my family and I are still suffering from it. Right now $ is a very valuable thing and not easily obtain. I assume that's why millions of studients use fastweb in hope to gain a scholarship or two, because the majority of us are in the same possition where we're searching for $ for school whearever we can find it. I hope to have favor and get a little extra $.

I would put $500 toward my books and tuition because I'm in grad school, my son is in undergrad and my other son is applying to law schools. We shell out a lot of tuition money in a year.

I would use the $500 to help me financing a research project on an Anthropology topic this summer. This will advance my education and will compliment my understanding of human culture and evolution. My dream is to achieve a better understanding of this career before I fully immerse myself in its academic path at the university level. My parents do not have the means right now to assist me monetarily with this project. I hope I can receive your contribution. Thank you.

I think all of us could use this money for something or other. If I'm the lucky one I'm gonna use it to start off my college career. Without financial aid I probably won't be getting anywhere so this would help me out a lot!

 Good luck to everyone and happy 4th of July!!!

Are you a Phoenix employee? I was half-way through a UofP Masters in Educating Adults [they have since changed the actual degree name] and I couldn't get an interview for a job with my own employer for a corporate trainer / educator type position. Phoenix may be fine for entry-level and low-level jobs, but in the real world they really aren't all that good.

If I had extra$ I would spend it on my GMAT...I have to take this test and i'm afraid its too late!!!
