  7. From the CFNC Webinar, I learned that:
    - The form for FASFA cannot be turned in until the start of the new year.
    - If able to do so, a student can apply for Merit Based and Need Based scholarships.
    - Using national source engines for scholarships can be very helpful, but spam and other unwanted emails can occur as a result.

    From the NCWC Speaker I learned that:
    - The school is very small with a student:teacher ratio of 15:1.
    -They offer the program that I want to go into (which is Pre-Med).
    - When the application, ACT/SAT scores, and highschool transcript are all turned in, student admission decision can be given in 48 hours.

    From the guest speakers of the US Navy I learned that:
    - If a student joins the program, tuition will be covered.
    - If a student ends up not liking the program, he/she can get out of it before the start of their sophomore year without any strings attached.
    -The program pays for the tuition for many schools including Yale and Harvard.
