Jill Crocker, a development officer for the Marshall campus, said, 'How it works is once they complete their FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and their paperwork, if they receive government funding, we have scholarships out there that will cover the rest as long as they keep that grade-point average.'

Rare sighting of white-tailed eagle
A rare sighting of one of the largest birds of prey in the UK far from their usual breeding ground has delighted nature lovers. The white-tailed eagle was spotted by bird watchers at Stainmore, on the border between Cumbria and County Durham. It has been identified as G818, a female eagle originally released on the Isle of Wight in 2021, by volunteers from the Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation. Tim Mackrill, an ornithologist for the foundation, said a number of eagles pass through Cumbria each year but sightings are "rare". G818 has spent the summer in the Scottish Highlands and is now making her way down to the south coast. "She began heading south on 2 August and then spent 3-9 August near Stanmore," Mr Mackrill said. "We are hopeful she will find a mate and settle somewhere on the south coast over the course of the coming autumn and winter. "There are currently three established pairs of white-tailed eagles on the south coast as a result of the reintroduction, with two of the pairs breeding successfully this summer." White-tailed sea eagles Brown body with a noticeably pale head and neck, which can become almost white in older birds Enormous, broad wings – much broader than a golden eagle's – with fingered ends Huge, chunky yellow beak (dark in juveniles) and yellow feet Adults have white tail feathers, as their name suggests Soars with wings held flat, rather than in a 'V' shape like golden eagles Source: RSPB Follow BBC North East on X and Facebook and BBC Cumbria on X and Facebook and both on Nextdoor and Instagram.

Massachusetts family's foundation supports other families of children with autism
A Sharon, Massachusetts family, inspired by their son with autism, started a foundation to help other children with autism and their families. Six-year-old Mikey was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2. He's non-verbal but his life is making an impact. "He's an incredible child. He gives you the best love, best hug. And then he can do things to make you laugh," said his dad, Michael Intoccia. Since his diagnosis, Mikey and his family have been blessed to have access to all of the avenues available to assist in his developmental growth. "And there are people out there that can't [have] a parent be with their child 24 hours a day or 18 hours a day because they have to work," Intoccia said. Now, Mikey's parents Michael and Marilyn Intoccia created A Voice for Mikey Autism Foundation. The aim is to support other families who have children with autism and help them with therapies, treatments and other opportunities that will enhance their development. "Mikey can't speak, so we want everyone who can help out other autistic families that we want to help out let them turn around and be the voice for Mikey. Pay for the swim lessons for a child or a doctor appointment. We're not going to give money, we're going to give directly whatever it is they need. A new computer, a stroller," said Intoccia. A Voice for Mikey Autism Foundation has partnered with the San Gennaro North End Feast to raise funds for the foundation. A gala will also be held on Sept. 3 where 100% of the proceeds will go to families of children with autism. "To be able to help other families that don't have the same luxuries and privileges, it's really something special. And when you meet these kids, I'm telling you, they are so special," said Nick Varano, the co-founder of the San Gennaro of Boston Foundation. For Intoccia, it's about making a difference in lives of other families in honor of Mikey, who they believe will one day have a lot to say. "There are so many families that don't come forward. Now I believe God gave me a reason to have Mikey to get out their now," said Intoccia.
