<p>I'm from Gadsden.</p>
<p>I believe I read that Chapel Hill of the University of North Carolina has a special no loans program for eligible students whose family income iis under $40,000.00 but I am not sure if one needs a State resident requirement .</p>

<p>PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -- Brown University has received a $100 million gift for its financial aid program, prompting a restructuring of how the university awards aid to its students.</p>
<p>The gift will allow Brown to eliminate loans for students with the greatest need and replace them with grants.</p>
<p>The donation comes from Sidney Frank, who attended Brown for one year as a member of the Class of 1942. He left to represent Pratt & Whitney Motors in Asia during World War II.</p>
<p>Frank recently gave $20 million for a new campus building that will carry his name. He made his money as a distilled spirits importer, and is credited with the marketing success of Jagermeister Liqueur.</p>
<p>According to The New York Times, Frank said he was too poor to complete his education, and wanted to help other students complete their degrees.</p>
<p>Until recently, Brown considered a student's ability to pay in its admissions process.</p>
<p>In recent years it has changed to so-called "need-blind" admissions and moved to expand financial aid.</p>
<p>The US Naval Academy, the US Coast Guard Academy, the US Air Force Academy, the US Military Academy, and the US Merchant Marine Academy. All of these schools are incredible institutions, and the education alone is valued at over 350,000 dollars. That's a lot of money. Not only that, but you come out of college with a job, and a degree from any one of these schools has a huge amount of influence in the civilian world. Businesses like men and women who are proven leaders. If you're interested in engineering or any kind of math or science, these schools are even better choices. They all focus heavily on math and science. However, I'm definitely stronger at English (800 verbal, 620 math), and I want to go to either West Point or the Naval Academy. West Point and the Naval Academy have absolutely gorgeous campuses; the most beautiful ones I have seen. (I've been to Sewanee, Georgetown, Notre Dame, American, and a couple more). I would highly suggest taking a look at these schools. Email me if you would like more info.</p>
<p>jtullis, thanks a lot:) Talk to you soon.</p>
