I had to pay for my first semester to prove I was a ” good risk” & then Uncle Sam paid for everything:books, uniforms, anything from the book store; pens, book bag ( which I still have) , a calculator, highlighters & then threw in $2.00 for lunch which bought a wonderful piece of pizza.. But school was hard & did very well & moi retired in 2015. This is what The Lord did & I say Thanks daily.
