To Strive, To Seek, To Find

I just got this email from Professor Gremore, Literature and Language Department Chair. Zoiks, people! Apply for the free money already!!!

As chair of the University Scholarship Committee, I want to let you know
about free money that might be available to your students:

Please encourage your students to log in to Metro State’s financial aid
office web site and look on that page’s “deadlines calendar” for the
listing on May 14. This is the deadline to apply for Student Senate
Academic Achievement awards for next fall and spring.

At the moment, we do not have enough applications to use all the
available award funds.

The Student Senate Academic Achievement Award provides a grant of $600
per semester for two semesters to students who have done outstanding
academic work at Metropolitan State University.  Students whose GPA is
above 3.5 might qualify for these awards.  

The application process is simple, and the deadline is May 14, 2010. We
are seeking applications for fall, 2010, and spring 2011.  More
information and online application forms are available on the Financial
Aid home page (http://metrostate.edu/msweb/pathway/aid/index.html).

We recommend that students act quickly, because they will need to ask
two instructors to log in to a web site and complete a short
recommendation form for them.

Full eligibility requirements and application instructions are on the
financial aid home page

Along with our stunningly early spring, this month celebrates our burgeoning experiment in blogging.  We’re just three comments away from having 200 comments — not bad for the blog’s second semester in a small English Major community.

The comments are thrown open to your voices! Please, share your stories about how this blog has changed your life, given you the will to live, and helped you train your dog.

Trained professionals are standing by to listen to your testimonials, their tissue boxes close at hand.  Really, don’t hold back. We’d love to hear how, because of this blog, your life will never be the same again.

The lucky 200th commenter will receive an amazing grand prize with magical, mind-bending properties and which can also serve as a portal into a whole new realm!

Okay, it’s a book. Of course it’s a book! It’s the English Major blog…?

Seniors, mark your calendars for Wednesday, April 28, 2010!
