Accepted Into Apollo Nov '08 Class

U.S.A. Arizona

Published

Okay - I know it's nothing to brag about. But considering I only started this journey in Feb of this year I'm very excited to be getting in somewhere 9 months later. I still have the financial aid hurdle and I'm not entirely sure that I'll be able to get the tuition covered. My appt is for Thurs so I guess I will know more then.

This board has been so helpful in guiding me through the whole process so I wanted to share my good news.

Shannahan,

Once you've had your appointment with Fin Aide, would you mind sharing with us the details? I would love to know how anyone affords that program, and how they break it down with grants, loans, etc. Thanks in advance!

They were able to do the finacing right then and there - I got the Pell Grant for appx $4700 and a little $500 one. Two federal loans covered all but $9000 of the total tuition. They tried to get salliemae to cover the $9000 but I got turned down on that unless I have a cosigner (my credit is trashed due to an upcoming foreclosure). I could have paid as I went on that part ($376/month) but I found a personal source to cover the $9000 for me.

Now I just hope the federal loans get to Apollo before anything disasterous happens to student loans because of this bailout!

i was wondering how all this financial mess was going to effect students who rely on student loans for school. are your grants subject to being effected also?

Shannahan,

Thanks for posting that fin. aide info!!! Since loans and even a monthly payment plan is needed to cover this school, I wonder what students do to pay for living expenses? I plan to use my loans to cover that, as you really can't work with the NS schedule and work load....

Massage - don't you work at Apollo? If so, why don't you just go and talk to financial aid?

The first 2 semesters at Apollo are prerequs and by looking at the schedule (for those 2 semesters) it looks like one could hold a job if necessary. After that though, I wouldn't attempt to hold a job at the same time.

Huh... so it is what I thought it would be. No wonder no one would give me a straight answer over the phone. I make too much to get Pell go all I would have would be the Stafford Loan and my credit is too bad to get a private loan so I'd be looking at probably $800/month in tuition. I definitely couldn't make that happen.

Congratulations!!! I was also accepted into the November 17th 2008 start. I just finished up all of my financial stuff today and the next step is orientation :) I guess we will be spending the next 2 years in the same classes, crazy!

I am not sure how to private message but hopefully you will get this. All I have heard is that we will not get our scrubs until the second week of class and we will get our books the first day of class. I am 20 years old maybe the youngest and I have an 8 month old son so this is going to be difficult. I am just going to give it my all and hope for a good outcome! Oh, my name is Kristina.
