Out of curiosity, and maybe this has been discussed already (if so can someone direct me to a thread?)...if one were to recieve a few side scholarships from writing an essay, etc. can they apply this scholarship money to uniform, books, and computer...and then not get the pay docked from the monthly check?
Recently the pay was switched around. The freshmen actually get around 400-500 a month now except for exception months where we had to gather alot of issued items which will be deducted from out total.
Just to show how things have changed...
(Like it really means anything)
1979-1980: 4dig $40 a month was all that went to our accounts
1980-1981: 3dig $180 (talk about a pay raise!!)
1981-1982: 2dig $240 (better!!!)
1982-1983: 1dig $ALL OF IT minus deductions!!
Now...
Ya'll are wealthy!
