No, that's not true. All loans received under programs authorized by Title IV, of the Higher Education Act can be canceled for several different circumstances including: (1) in the event of your death; or (2) if you become totally and permanently disabled after the loan is disbursed. In addition, some loan types may qualify for loan discharge under a variety of conditions. Some of the most common cancellation provisions are listed for you below: * the school you attended improperly certified your ability to benefit from the training given. * the school you attended closed while you were in attendance or within 90 days after you withdrew from the school. * A National Defense Student Loan can be canceled in 2 additional circumstances: (1) full-time teaching and (2) military service. * Finally, your obligation to repay your loan may be discharged in bankruptcy.

I have a French Carte de Sejour (long term visa) obtained as a student, can I work in Spain as an intern?
I am an Indian Student in France, problem is that, I am not sure how this works? Can I just goto Spain and start working or what are the rules? I have a Schengen visa and i am a student in France, will I need to apply for something after I am in Spain? What is the process for that? Will I need company sponsorship? How long can I work? Will I need a work permit or will this be considered a part of studies? The internship is one year long. So will i need to apply for something when I reach Spain??? Something like carte de Sejour in France, I can get a letter from a Spanish university, so then can I work??? will i need something from the company as well?

No, you can't. A French student visa only authorizes to work in France for a maximum of 964 hours per year (during the school year : part-time / during vacations periods : full-time within the 964 hours yearly limit). http://www.consulfrance-washington.org/spip.php?article385#IV-Frequently-asked-questions .. Your French temporary residence permit only grants you to visit Spain as tourist for up to 90 days in a six month period; it does not grant you to stay for a longer period or to take up work/internship.

You need to chcek with a Spanish consulate (preferably the one that issued your student visa). However, there should be no problem visiting Spain as a tourist after your student visa expires.

You'll need a Ph.D in English and need to maintain fluency in Spanish. If you can do both of those things, I believe that you will find a job fairly easily as an English professor in a Spanish university =] All the best of luck.

Fund raising ideas for class trip to Spain?
Fund raising ideas for class trip to Spain?
My son's 8th grade Spanish class is planning a trip to Spain for next summer. Each student needs to come up with $3500! Unless we do some serious fund raising he won't be able to go. Our ideas so far include: Yard sale, Penny drive, car wash, selling stuff on eBay & bake sales. Does anyone have any great ideas? To Cherry Koolaid- It's not a vacation is a Study Program. There is no way I would let him go if it was just for fun.

The actual event, crazy as it may sound, involves racing rubber ducks down a local waterway. Your local community "adopts" the ducks for a chance to win valuable donated prizes. Duck races have become a unique and profitable event for many charities. Your group sells a ticket linked to a number that's painted on one of the racing rubber ducks. Depending on the prizes involved, tickets are priced somewhere between $5-$10 a ticket. A standard size for a race is 3,000 rubber ducks, but you can adjust that up or down depending on the size of your group and the amount you need to raise. Large plastic bags full of the ducks are simultaneously emptied into the water. The winning duck is the one that floats to the finish line first. It adds a little extra zing to the old-fashioned raffle ticket sale. Prizes can also be awarded in various categories to add to the festivities. Many groups organize their "race" around a group picnic near the waterway and make a leisurely afternoon out of your fundraiser event. A company called Great American Duck Races can supply you with everything you need. ~Bowling - Ideas on putting together a charity bowling fundraiser - How to tips for organizing a fun fundraising event and maximizing the revenue. ~Halloween Pumpkin Patch - Fundraising with a Halloween Pumpkin Patch - How to tips for a simple Halloween fundraiser idea. ~Karaoke Fundraiser - How to ride the American Idol craze with a karaoke fundraiser - No talent required and not a lot of effort needed to organize this fundraising event.

English student studying abroad in Spain?
English student studying abroad in Spain?
I've nearly completed my A Levels (I will have an AS in Enlish Language and A Levels in Art and Textiles when i am done). I want to study in Spain furthering my art, probably fashion or fine art direction. (I am going there next summer to take an intensive Spanish course although the places i have looked at teach in English but hey, immerse oneself right!) Been looking at sites and there seems to be quite a few good universities mentioning taking international students but i cant find any information about how much the fees would be. If anyone has studied in Spain (especially art type courses) then could you give me a rough idea of the tuition costs, entry requirements etc and also how did you find the experience? Thank you :)

Hello! A great school to learn Spanish is Don Quijote, they have branches in the most important cities. I can recommend you Salamanca. It's not far from Madrid - good for flight connections and it's one of the best in Spain. Apart from learning the language you will enjoy the experience as it is a very cosmopolitan city but at the same time not too big so it's very manageable. There are lots of cultural events going on all year long and hey! great for socialising :) Trust me, great place to go! Been there and done it all :) Best of luck!

I wasn't taking art courses in Spain, but i was there for a semester in college. As Sue Queen said, Salamanca is a great city for a student studying in Spain. That's where I was. I took courses taught in Spanish at the University of Salamanca. Being somewhat centrally located, you can get almost anywhere in the country in a reasonable amount of time by train. I went through a program called the Institute of European Studies (IES). Have fun!
