zeptangerine Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I'm thrilled to see a fundraiser that Led Zeppelin participated in made it all the way to my homestate, Maryland! $2.4 million in scholarships for Turkish students- that's a nice chunk of change considering one year's tuition for undergrads is $38,854. See Ahmet's personal connection to this college, below. Led Zeppelin Concert Leads to St.John's Scholarship St.John's Press Release "Mr. Ertegun served the college as a member of the college's Board of Visitors and Governors in the 1970s. In 1994, the St. John's Alumni Association honored him with an Award of Merit." Learn something new every day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except I have an issue with the grants only going to Turkish students. I thought every skin color should be eligible for scholarships. This is only MHO..

PotBound Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 It's a great school. A Great Books university and excellent for those seeking a broad topical range with the ability to explore specific areas of interest in depth. Not for everyone. For those who are 'wired' this way, a thrilling way to learn and grow. Thanks for posting the update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like a tiny slice of England, and I love Annapolis, too. Makes me wonder what all the fuss was about when we split from the royals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder what all the fuss was about when we split from the royals? I believe that the "split" was over taxation... a little "tea party" was held for that reason (remember, LOL) Not that extreme taxation didn't occur anyway. BTW, can someone tell me how to change my home e-mail address for the site? I have moved and have a different e-mail address now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(sounds like the lyrics to a Sex Pistols song...!?) E-mail changes are made on the "my controls" link under options, change e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
