How do institutions meet demonstrated need?

Typical financial aid awards can include a mix of:  

  • Self-help aid – student employment and loans 
  • Gift aid – grants and scholarships

Scholarships awarded by anyone other than the institutions can meet unmet need, replace loans or student employment, and sometimes can reduce or replace an Expected Family Contribution Always be sure to ask the following questions of outside scholarships: 

  • Is this scholarship renewable? 
  • If so, what are the requirements? 
  • Will this scholarship affect my need-based aid eligibility?

Git and Github

Git and GitHub are basic tools for modern software development, providing a means of implementing version control and collaboration and facilitating the whole development process. It's a distributed version control system that lets developers see and manage the changes that happened in the codebase over time. It tracks all changes made to the codebase, allowing developers to roll back previous versions, work more efficiently, and record their project history. This works locally on a developer's computer, allowing the person to work separately and synchronize their changes with a central repository afterward.  On the other hand, GitHub is a cloud service hosting Git repositories, where developers can collaborate on their work more easily and share code with others. It offers a social layer over Git where developers can create public or private repositories, manage issues, process pull requests, and work with other people on open-source projects. Besides this, it also provides wi...

The Transformative Power of Generative AI in Medical Chatbots

The Transformative Power of Generative AI in Medical Chatbots Generative AI, specifically large language models (LLMs), are currently changing healthcare chatbots in ways that allow for catching up the limitations of traditional cartable based systems. LLMs excel at understanding complex language, something necessary in healthcare, since patients' questions are often vague and ambiguous. Unlike rigid rule-based chatbots, LLMs - trained on very large datasets - understand how to interprete human language, even when patients speak in non-medical, colloquial terms. Comparatively, using this improved understanding enables chatbots to respond more effectively and meaningfully without the responses being pre-scripted and is used, medical, information of the given inquiry. LLMs can review and analyze all of the large amounts of medical knowledge, as well as, the vast amounts of patient interaction data used to enable LLMs to respond in a specific manner for uniquely wanting to yield the m...
