Let me start from the beginning
In mid-January, a DAVE ROBINSON from JSU financial office called me telling me that i would be awarded a FULL SCHOLARSHIP to JSU because of my test scores. and GPA, and invited me to Honors Day and gave me basketball game tickets.
In Mid-February, i get invited to apply to Honors College.
In Mid-March, i get a letter saying that they cannot determine my scholarship eligibility because they don't have my transcript
Today, I was told that i will not receive a scholarship because you need a 3.0GPA, not on your cumulative GPA(which i have a 3.6), nor your unweighted GPA(which i have a 3.012), but your "CORE CUMULATIVE"(which i had never heard of, and which i have a 2.49), This was not stated in the scholarship application, nor on the school application, nor in the Honors College application, when i talked to the head of admissions she didn't tell me this, nor did Dave Robinson, nor did head of finances when i talked to her the first time.
How they give me a scholarship then take it away?
Da hell am i supposed to pay for college now? I thought i had a full ride here, and so i only applied for a few other scholarships. I have $2000 to pay for college. 2000$ is BOOKS.
i think i'ma start pushing sacks

Yeah, if they're not gonna give you your full ride scholarship, look for free money elsewhere....but in the meantime, get loans & grants like everybody else. JUST DONT GO THERE AND QUIT IF YOU DO GET LOANS. The loan company will ride your **** and they will RIDE YOU HARD UNTIL YOU PAY THEM!

If all else fails threatin them with lawyers and lawsuits...or just let me call em'....whatever you do though...don't give up. And I'll pray for you. And if that don't work...the navy isn't as bad as its cracked up to be.....
