Hey all! Here's another installment of What's On My Facebook Wall!
First of all, here is the most awesome article I shared on Facebook this month...
**Note: I think education is one of the most important things to invest in. Also, Paul's life was saved at Johns Hopkins, so this makes me very happy.**
"The gift will fund financial aid for qualified low- and middle-income students, allowing the university to forever make admissions decisions on a "need-blind" basis — without considering an applicant's ability to pay, according to the press release.
The contribution also eliminates student loans from financial aid packages, replacing those loans with grants that don't need to be repaid. The change will ease the burden of student debt for many graduates and make the campus more socioeconomically diverse, Bloomberg wrote in a New York Times op-ed in which he explains his rationale for the gift and the impact it will have.
"America is at its best when we reward people based on the quality of their work, not the size of their pocketbook," he wrote."
Have a happy day!
You post the best content on your wall. That little drummer boy one makes me laugh! Well, a lot of them make me laugh... Great article. Education -- YES. I feel very strongly about donating to schools (and sports at schools). So, so important to our world -- let's educate our kids so they can be amazing adults!
ReplyDeleteThere is no better investment than to invest in someone's education! If I were super rich I would do the same thing Bloomberg did! Glad you like the crap I post. I think my favorite one this Christmas is the little drummer boy one. :) I laughed so hard!!!
