Scholarships

The set above is what i have made for my ex mother in law...Her birthday is today and yes am being very nice in giving her this...It's really from the kids and not me as such...I hope she likes them and actually wears them...These are very wearable and it doesn't have to be a special occasion really...I actually want them for myself now LOL

K is coming up later today as the SYP are joining in this march tomorrow...Am definitely going on it and although M has been asked along he's not going...He's of the opinion that walking over a mile is too far for him without actually going to buy himself something LOL.

G got a letter today from RGU...It's inviting him as a prospective student to apply for one of 2 scholarships given by local oil companies...They are both for the duration of the course...There are other scholarships but they are for later years on the course...These scholarships are awarded to students on academic merit and personal characteristics...How they chose who they ask to apply who are just about to start i have no idea...It must go on their academic record from school and what they have written in their personal account in their UCAS application...Anyway he is applying and we'll see how it goes...They may ask every applicant to apply for them but i know they don't do that for further on years...Be brill if he won it but not going to hold my breath...One of them is 4 grand for 1st, 2nd and 3rd year and 3 grand for 4th year...The other one is 2 grand for each of the 4 years...Fingers crossed...It could mean he wouldn't have to take out the student loan although if you're eligible and don't apply then you have to pay full fees...Anyways better go and do some more cleaning.

He should take out the full amount.  What he doesn't actually need he can bung into an ISA for the duration, then, when he leaves Uni and they are demanding the loan back with menaces he can cash his ISAs in, give them their lump sums back and keep all the tax free interest to fritter on interview suits.
