Information about billions of dollars of scholarship awards is available online at CollegeAnswer.com, Sallie Mae's online college-planning resource. The Web site gives students free access to the largest online scholarship search service, with a database containing more than 2 point 4 million scholarships worth in excess of 15 billion dollars. Deadlines for many college scholarship applications will fall over the next six months, and these scholarships can supplement the amount of out-of- pocket expenses that families face to meet the cost of college.

So the next time you're making a dental check-up appointment for you, make one for your cat.

Here's why: A recent study conducted by veterinary clinics nationwide for IDEXX Laboratories shows that one in seven cats with dental disease also tested positive for feline immunodeficiency virus or feline leukemia virus, the two deadliest diseases affecting cats. This study confirms the importance of regularly test cats for F-I-V and F-e-L-V, especially those with oral diseases.
