It fell to page 3...
I must have missed the memo or something because I wasn't expecting it to be $39.
That is good news about the financial aid going out next week, because I need it. I wonder if all of these little costs are factored into the estimate.
Hi KingboboTAMUK has a shuttle system that goes to the corpus christi airport and surrounding areas.
I believe the number I called was 361-593-3606.
The process was pretty complicated for me the first time I did it and you have to do it about a week ahead of time.
I found an old shuttle request form on the TAMUK website and I filled it out and faxed it in. A day later someone emailed me requesting more information and gave me a confirmation number. That, I believe is the correct way to do it.
But, I think a faster way is to contact this person at [email protected] and include the following information:
Noelia A. Najera
Administrative Assistant
Dean of Students Office
700 University Blvd.; MSC 122
Kingsville, TX 78363
(361) 593-3606 (o)
(361) 593-3947 (f)
1) Flight itinerary provided by travel agency/airline and flight confirmation number
2) Address in Kingsville (if you live in Kingsville)
3) Cell phone number (if you have one)
3) Purpose of your trip (why are you going from the airport to TAMUK)
5) Student ID Number
The shuttle was free of charge.
Hope this helps.
Sorry PharmD, but I'm afraid I'm not very familiar with taxes and tax deductibles around college expenses. It is best for you to ask someone else; perhaps call the financial aid office?Garfield,
I haven't received a grant or scholarship before, but I seem to remember when I filed my taxes that I was asked about it. Any idea how "money you don't have to pay back" affects your taxes? Loans and interest are deductions, but I think the grant/scholarship are something different. Thanks!
IRS.gov said:
- You paid interest on a qualified student loan in tax year 2007
- Your filing status is not married filing separately
- Your modified adjusted gross income is less than $65,000 ($135,000 if filing jointly)
- You and your spouse, if filing jointly, cannot be claimed as dependents on someone else's return
IRS.gov said:You cannot claim a deduction or credit based on expenses paid with tax-free scholarship, fellowship, grant, or education savings account funds such as a Coverdell education savings account, tax-free savings bond interest or employer-provided education assistance.
Planning on applying for 2009 and was wondering if you have to write any essays for A&M Kingsville?
Only school I have heard of doing this. That takes some pressure off when you are applying to multiple schools. Thanks for the response.
OK a little off topic but is anyone here buying the Lenovo laptop through the school. I got my Dell checked out at the preorientation and then the video card started overheating and now it will stay on for 10 minutes and then shut down. So needless to say I have to buy a new one. Just wondering what you were doing....
I do want to note that my understanding of the tax interactions surrounding loans and scholarships isn't comprehensive, and I am not familiar with the nuances and details that a tax adviser or professional might know. It might be better for you to talk to a financial professional on this.

Hello again,
I think this is the last question I have before orientation.
Does anyone know if we are able to purchase books at the school. I have already purchased all my required and recommended books except for one, which is Communication Skills for Pharmcists for Clinical Communications. I have tried to find it, but I just can't find a place to order or purchase it.
Many Thanks and See you all on the 14th and 15th.
