[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Not true. You CAN be a 501c# and pay student loans. MAO does. Aside from student loans what if a local is held after 2nd semester tuition due and paid by titleholder credit card? If trying to award scholarships, then remove obstacles and pay the scholarship to the college financial office, they in turn will reimburse the credit card.
