FAP452: Top 5 on H.R. 5, Sallie Mae 4Q, medical student scholarships, FAFSA and divorce, EFC, Free Stuff Friday, Hilda Lamas Student Financial Aid News + For our advice insurance: what I'm not + T op 5 things you need to know about HR5 + SLM 4Q financials + Poor hedging activity led to an $18 million drop in student loan giant Sallie Mae’s earnings in the fourth quarter of 2006. + Net income was $413 million, or $0.94 per share, down from $431 million, or $0.96 per share, from a year ago. + Despite the hedging losses, the Reston, Va.-based company, formally known SLM Corp., watched its total managed student loan portfolio grow 16% to $142 billion. + Additionally, non-interest income, or fee income, was $651 million in the fourth quarter and $2.5 billion for all of 2006, both 15% increases from a year ago. Scholarship Update + Kim from Facebook writes in: Hook me up with some financial aid. I'm looking for some extra scholarships that might help me pay for rent/utilities/etc. I'm 1/2 Korean (I was born there/my mom is), I grew up overseas (Korea and Indonesia mostly), I've done pageants and modeling, I've done research, I graduated from WM with a 3.97 Suma Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa. Oh, I'm left handed. Though extremely random, I figured these odd ends of info might help in looking for potential scholarships. I don't have a lot of time to write a bunch of essays. If the money's good, I'd consider writing one, as I feel as though writing is one of my strengths. However, being in medical school doesn't exactly allow me to spend as much time as I'd like doing non-medically related things. I can offer letters of recommendation as well as lists of awards/accomplishments over the past 4 yrs. Let me know what you find! + Herbert W. Nickens Medical Student Scholarships + Request for Nominations + The deadline for receipt of nominations is April 2, 2007. + These awards consist of five scholarships given to outstanding students entering their third year of medical school who have shown leadership in efforts to eliminate inequities in medical education and health care and demonstrated leadership efforts in addressing educational, societal, and health care needs of minorities in the United States. Each recipient receives a $5,000 scholarship in November of the year the scholarships are awarded. + Details at our free student scholarship search site Mail Bag + Helen writes in: I have a daughter in 10th grade and have just started listening to your podcast to prepare for the future. I am wondering if there is a general rule about how much income the parents can make and still qualify for need-based scholarships. Thanks. + There is - it's called the EFC. It's a very complicated algorithm, about 35 pages long. + You can download a copy from our FAFSA form web site + Brandon writes in: I like your show. Thanks for producing it. The question that I have is this. In a divorce situation for tax purposes the parent that holds custody of the children has claim to them on the taxes, but only until age 18. What are the rules for the FAFSA form ? Is it age 18 also or is it 23? Hope this makes sense and that you can give me an answer. + It's when they become an independent student. Otherwise, whoever provides 51% of the support for the child uses their finances for the FAFSA .

Witches of Mass Destruction: Boston Legal TV Show Radio Podcast; Commentary on Boston Legal season 2, episode 6; published November 6, 2005; 76 min.
Witches of Mass Destruction: Boston Legal TV Show Radio Podcast Commentary: A story of stop-loss, dissent v. disloyalty, Wiccans, Christians, being harmonic and flamingos somewhat pretty in pink. Shirley Schmidt and Denise Bauer represent two groups of parents, one Christian and the other Wiccan -- a pagan religion -- who are suing to get rid of a school's Halloween pageant for its wicked witch. The Christians feel their faith is being marginalized by a satanic symbol, and the Wiccans claim that Halloween images stereotype them - especially after the school's principal gives a riveting demonstration of her cackling, green witch. Meanwhile, Garrett Wells takes Cassie (Tamara Feldman), the paralegal with whom he's involved, to see Alan Shore and ask him to represent her in suing the U.S. government, to vindicate the death of her brother, killed in the Iraq war. Shore takes on the unconventional case, but his friendship with Denny Crane is threatened since Crane strongly feels that one shouldn't criticize the military while the country is at war. The strained friendship threatens the annual office Halloween party, where they both were to dress up as giant flamingoes .
