Some schools offer complete ownership at time of Graduation.  I ahve
heard some schools make you wait 2 years.
You know After my fall and hospitalization when Leone pulled me in a
dog distractiona nd she was taken from me for evaluation and re-train
the ownership contract was changed for another year.  So here I wait.
I actually forgot about the ownership contract.  so make sure you do
the signing and sending it in and everything right on time.
