Better Late Than Never

I can't believe how long it takes the financial aid department here to qualify people for certain grants. Here I am coming upon the last few weeks of school and I get an email saying that my financial aid status has changed. There is nothing wrong with that, I had been expecting a grant for quite some time. The year before I got it before the start of November so I counted myself out of the running this year. I go and look at my financial aid and finally one of my biggest grants finally came through. I am on my last year with the SMART grant. It is the best grant that I have ever been able to qualify for. And it only is on the basis of need and major so there is little to no discrimination. I am quite happy that I have that check coming to me in the mail. It will make our savings account more than presentable :)
