Federal PLUS LoansWritten by Vanessa McHooley
Federal PLUS Loans As a student entering college, it is very unlikely that you have a few spare checks lying around that you can cash and magically use to pay for college. Most college-aged students, ranging from late teens through mid-twenties, have no line of credit and cannot receive much money in loans if they need to do so in order to attend college. Therefore, a loan like federal PLUS loan through federal government and U.S. Department of Education makes it easy for you, as a potential college student, to use your parents’ line of credit in order to gain financing options for your higher education. How Your Parents Can Help You Apply If your parents have good credit and you obtain them a copy of Direct PLUS loan application, you are well on your way to cracking college books and arriving on campus in fall. Keep in mind that in order to receive a federal PLUS loan, you must be a dependent potential undergraduate at any college or university in U.S. You also must be planning on attending college for at least half-time during upcoming semester. If these all apply to you, obtain a Direct PLUS loan application and promissory note, fill them out with signatures completed, and hand them in to financial aid office at your college or university.
| | It Must Be Joe Cocker's MarketWritten by Kemberly Wardlaw
Agonizing displays of poor theatrics failed to entertain my mind one recent Saturday evening. I scrolled across several television channels hoping for an engaging program. Finally, one particular concert intrigued my senses. There on stage performed one of rock and roll's most expressive singers.With every bit of his legendary convulsive style, Joe Cocker belted out each song with passion and enthusiasm. A solitary man represented by a dull silhouette and expressions of life's complicated sorrows braided through words of reassuring simplicity. The foggy stage complimented his smoky voice as his lyrics invited every listener to share his soul. He was an elder musician with lessons to teach. The English born Cocker, now in his early sixties, has been delivering same spasmodic "air-guitar" performance for decades. His music has endured critics, fads, and lifestyle changes. Who can resist tunes of "Heard It Through Grapevine" or "Up Where We Belong?" Perhaps some people mock his unique musical delivery, but his melodies speak to soul. At times, his twitching becomes somewhat distracting, yet in end, his concert is a magical blend of R&B influences, solid rock and roll, and rhythmic gospel.
