Paying for College

<p>Bryant & Stratton College Online announced its new Pay it Forward Scholarship program, a program that will award a total of ten full-tuition scholarships for online associate’s degree programs at Bryant & Stratton College, as well as five $5,000 scholarships to the remaining finalists. The program recognizes and rewards recipients who are not only interested in improving their lives with education, but who also want to “pay it forward” to someone else. Scholarship recipients will be able to award their second scholarship to a friend, family member, colleague or even a community organization, which could then award the scholarship to a deserving individual.</p>

<p>1st - I know nothing about Bryant & Stratton College Online… </p>

<p>But I’ll give you $5,000 off my school if you can get another sucker (friend, family member, colleague or even a community organization, which could then award the scholarship to a deserving individual) and give me some of their $$$ too. What a deal… Don’t you just love online schools…</p>

<p>HEY - just looked it up “Bryant & Stratton College graduates will receive their degrees where they earned them – online. In the annual live Second Life graduation” </p>

<p>What are jobs earned by cartoon characters paying nowadays?</p>

<p>An interesting question. My bet is Sponge Bob is pulling in a helluva lot more now than Bugs Bunny, PopEye, or Betty Boop ever did at comparable points in their careers, even adjusting for inflation. </p>

<p>Look at the trend in professional sports. Was a big deal back in the day when Willie Mays became the first ballplayer to sign a $100k contract. If I recall, the MLB minimum is now $400k.</p>

<p>I knew my son was way off base when he wanted to become a pro musician. If I had married Marge Simpson, the kid would have it it made. </p>

<p>While there certainly are some bad apples in the online education community, Bryant & Stratton College has worked hard to be different since our founding in 1854. Ten years ago we recognized that not everyone is able to make it to a classroom and that online education could be an excellent opportunity to better serve our students. So in 2000 we began offering online degrees. We only have about 1,200 students online and we don’t want to be like other schools that enroll students by the hundreds of thousands. This means we know our students by name, not student ID number. We received our first accreditation in 1952 and we became regionally accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education in 2002. To learn more about us, please contact our Admissions Office – they aren’t in sales and they don’t sell your personal information, but instead work to help students identify the degree they need for the career they want. 90% of our graduates are working in their field of study within 90 days of graduating. </p>
