<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Planning to let your child study in Oregon for college? It is
important to prepare for his/her future. And you can do this by saving for a
college education through a college plan. Fortunately, Oregon 529 College
Savings Network exists to put up your dreams within reach. The Network offers
annual state tax deduction, tax-free growth, and investment choices. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Network has two kinds of college savings plan, each of
this plan has a set of unique investment options and programs which provide
federal tax advantages. The first plan is called “Oregon College Savings Plan”
which can be purchased directly without having to use a financial advisor. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Oregon College Savings Plan is apparently administered
by the State of Oregon. With this plan, contributions or earnings used to pay
for qualified higher education expenses will be made free from any state income
tax in Oregon and the federal. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But contributions to the Plan are only deductible up to an
annual limit. A deduction limit is indexed every year for inflation. For the
past year, the allowable annual tax deduction is $4,240. This comprises all
contributions made by the taxpayer to all Network accounts which include
accounts in the Plan. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

reduce the taxable value of your estate. Contributions and gifts from the
account owner to the beneficiary, will most probably qualify for an annual
federal gift tax exclusion amounting to $13,000 per donor, per beneficiary. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #404040; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

flexible features. Anyone can apply for the plan. If you’re the parent,
grandparent, relative, or even just a friend who is a US citizen or a resident
alien, you may open an account as long as you are at least 18 years old. You
need not be residing in Oregon State to contribute for the savings plan on
behalf of a beneficiary. But then, you might as well consider your own state’s
plan first to avail of the tax advantages they offer. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-PH">The Oregon State has been renowned for its
natural beauty. It is a house of diverse natural resources like beaches,
volcanoes, farms, forests, river valleys, and all sorts of wonders. In fact, it
is known to host the deepest lake in the United States- the Crater Lake. It has
wineries and national monuments which people also visit to. Oregon is also a
state who enjoys the success of their timber industry because of dam-generated
low-cost electric power. This means the state’s economy is growing well into
the future. Thus, certain employment fields require employees to have an
education beyond high school.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-PH"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-PH">Many colleges are available in Oregon State
especially to those who want to obtain a degree while keeping their religious beliefs.
One can secure their education by attending quality Christian universities and
Bible Colleges like Southwestern Christian College, Mid-America Christian
University, Ohio Christian University, Life Christian University, and Jarvis
Christian College.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-PH"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-PH">These schools offer different programs to
obtain college education. But there are larger universities like George Fox
University which provide a large selection of degree options which include
majors in both traditional and religious courses. They also provide these in
both undergraduate and postgraduate diplomas. But if you want a school which
focuses intensely on religious training, smaller schools such as Multnomah
Bible College and </span>Biblical Seminary give this to their students.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-PH"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-PH">You may search online the schools and the
degrees they offer to ensure an education that you really desire founded in a
Christian faith. Many of these schools also offer Scholarship grants to aide
you in achieving your degree. </span></div>Alnessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17394031079934012930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659622771171990822.post-45533077084816541562012-02-21T08:47:00.004-08:002012-02-21T08:47:48.306-08:00Raising body awareness in UO<br />

Looking for a good university in Oregon? The University of
Oregon or OU offers a wide variety of courses students will be interested to
enrol to. The town in which OU is located is known for its strengths in arts
and outdoor activities. The UO does the same. A vast array of fun events is
made for students to enjoy, from the Oregon Bach Festival to the Cinema Pacific
Film Festival. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The 295-acre campus holds different sports teams that
compete in the NCAA division which draw a huge amount of fans, most especially
in football and track and field. A significant portion of the student
population is also involved in fraternities and sororities. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not satisfied with a single course in UO? The university
allows you to enrol another course in a local community college while enrolled
in UO. Students’ resumes can also be boosted through Professional Distinct
Programs which provides different internships, career workshops, and extra
academic concentrations. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Graduate students can also pursue post-graduate courses like law
school, business school, and other course which provide a Masters degree. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The university is also focused in community involvement. In
fact, UO’s Healthy Campus Initiative is centred on “positive body image” in
campaign to help the faculty, staff, and students of UO. The event will be a week-long celebration called “All Sizes
Fit”. It features different displays, presentations, and activities made to
promote acceptance of different body shapes by raising awareness on body
dysmorphia and eating disorders.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
According to the event organizers, people who have negative
body images will more likely to develop eating disorders and other problems
like depression, obsession, and low self-esteem which makes it more important
to launch awareness programs like this. <o:p></o:p></div>Alnessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17394031079934012930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659622771171990822.post-28268923808528839322012-02-19T05:30:00.001-08:002012-02-19T05:31:15.740-08:00Planning to go to Oregon in College?<br />
