I'm thrilled to announce that I've been accepted as a student at #ColoradoChristianUniversityOnline! I'll be pursuing a B.S. in #ComputerScience. The school's class format seems much more manageable for me than other schools I've attended, and I'm feeling optimistic about this new chapter.

Now begins the challenging process of hunting for #scholarships. Unfortunately, I'm discovering just how inaccessible most scholarship websites are for screen reader users. If anyone knows of #accessible scholarship resources or platforms, I'd greatly appreciate your recommendations!

The guidance from the #Trump #Education Department’s Office for #CivilRights was sent as a “Dear Colleague” letter to school officials throughout the country Feb. 14. It threatened to deny federal #funding to any #school or #college that considers #race in hiring, #discipline policy, #scholarships, prizes or any other aspect of campus life. It gave schools a 2-week deadline to comply, setting off confusion & panic on campuses nationwide.

11. Disdain for #Intellectuals and the #Arts
"Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to #HigherEducation and #academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other #academics to be censored or even arrested. #FreeExpression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts."

If this doesn't get folks out onto the streets, I don't know what will! #StudentLoans are a HUGE burden that hangs over a lot of peoples' heads -- and #IncomeDrivenRepayment programs are the only thing keeping them from not being able to make ends meet and / or having their #credit ruined! And taxes on scholarships? Seems the #FascistGrooveThing wants to #SilenceDissent by providing barriers against an #EducatedVoter!

House Republicans mull taxes on scholarships and changes to student loan programs

"As Republicans in Congress look for ways to slash spending, some legislators are floating new taxes on college #scholarships, an end to #StudentLoan #repayment plans and a big hike in taxes on university endowments.

"The ideas affecting #HigherEducation are among many in circulation among House committees that are exploring ways to cover the cost of extending and expanding tax cuts passed in President Donald Trump’s first term.

"The recommendations are still evolving, and it’s unclear how close any of them will get to being implemented. Regardless, advocates across higher education say they are alarmed to see such proposals gain traction at all with Republicans.

"'It’s shocking to me because this amount of cuts is not happening in reaction to like a budget crisis, like a #recession. This really feels different in the sense that it is not something that there is an external push or a need for. So, it feels more #ideological in a way,' said Jessica Thompson, a higher education policy expert with The Institute for College Access and Success.

"Here is a look at possible federal budget cuts that would affect higher education under the Trump administration:

"Cutting programs that help students pay off college debt

"The U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce has suggested several possible ways to overhaul student loan programs. Some would reduce student access to federal aid for college.

"On the chopping block potentially are several plans students can opt into to repay their students loans, including the #SAVEPlan introduced by the Biden administration. That plan doesn’t require borrowers to make payments if they earn less than 225% of the federal poverty line — $32,800 a year for a single person — and prevents interest from adding to balances as long as borrowers make their monthly payments. The SAVE plan was already put on hold after Republicans challenged it. Some plans do not appear to be targeted, including one that caps loan payments based on borrowers’ income level.

[...]

"An end to tax-free status for scholarships

"Scholarships and fellowships have been exempt from taxes as long as they are used for tuition and related expenses. That would change under another proposal that’s up for consideration.

"The changes could create new financial burdens for students and families, advocates say.

"'There’s been great progress in bringing down the costs of higher education. Adjusted for inflation, public university tuition is less now than it was ten years ago,' said Craig Lindwarm, senior vice president of governmental affairs with the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities. 'But as we look at some of the proposals that are options, many would increase costs on students and families, and I think (the proposals) are heading in the direction that most don’t want to see, which is increasing expenses on students and families.'

That guy, who ruined college admissions, took his case to the #SupremeCourt, he's at it again. This time he wants to stop McDonald's from awarding scholarships cuz they're giving them to minorities, not rich white kids. His group's called "American Alliance for Equality" because they fight against equality, natch'.
