So some of you may recall in May of 2007 that my wonderful, WONDERFUL hospital Ladies Board gave me a most excellent gift: a $3000 scholarship to help pay for school with EC. That gift virtually removed all financial obstacles preventing me from moving as quickly as I wanted to, and I am forever grateful to them for it.
Fast forward to last month, when I remembered, hey, the Ladies Board still does scholarships, and I'm still a student! So I applied for a scholarship with them again (making the deadline by only 2 days, yikes), and guess what? I got my letter in the mail yesterday -- they're giving me $1800! YAY!!! I'm so excited. That will cover a class, with some left over for part of another. I was stressing about how I was going to cover some of the remainder of my classes this year. I refuse to get a student loan, so anything not reimbursed by my employer comes out of my pocket, which has way more lint than $$$ in it.
