Non-traditional alum who was honored to receive a scholarship coming out of DCCCD. SMU was the cake and this is the icing! Love this team and can't wait to see them wherever and whomever they play - packing my bags!

According to our numbers about 70% of students are on some form of financial aid, there are more non-traditionals than you think. Guys (and gals) that transfer into, or are on study work programs etc.

Must be a lot of families fudging the financial aid applications!

Thanks for the article, but I have several questions about a study that is based on information that is at best case a culmination of educated guesses, based on information that is not publically available. Save for the IRS, not even credit agencies have income estimates, only records of debt and re-payment history. After all, TCU was ranked right behind us and we know they all end up working for us. :lol:

You sound like just as much a Mustang as any of the rest of us!

I was a co-op student, alternately working at Ford a semester in their management on the job training program, then attending school for a semester, for three years. Graduated one semester later than my class, while paying all my college and living expenses. Played all the student life, fraternities and football etc. My point is that there are more of us than you realize.
