Ok, this finally grabbed my attention enough to respond. This is very much on topic, since this is crucial to every single high-schooler/college student on this list, of which there are quite a few. Tyler, feel free to give me a call. Everyone on this list knows my contact information so I'll include it right here. Cell; (919) 345-3832 DSB will pay funds towards your tuition. That is irrelevant of any economy, politics, age, or any other reason they fabricate. Call me, and I'll help you deal with this with them. I guarantee you they have to do it, and frankly, they have the money, no matter what they tell you. They are federally subsidized ... It is only state run, but essentially federally paid for.

I'm working with voc, but with the current economy, it is a bit of an issue. I'm going to have to give them a call and see where it goes, the guy came down, but it was more of a "lets buy you spare little things," than really getting me the equipment I need. I'd love to see them help with college, but as long as they just cover the equpment so I can work on my own, I'm happy too.
