Paying for an absn at Samuel merrit

[Natassia2011]

Hey everybody, new to this site so I apologize in advance for any mistakes in regards to the proper forum/thread.. I am about to graduate from UCR with a psych degree and I plan on attending Samuel merrit to receive my absn after reconsidering my career of choice. However after evaluating the costs (close to 100 k) I am more nervous about being able to pay for the program than I am about getting in..

that being said I was wondering if there was any alumni from SMU that can offer insight on their financial aid packages? Am I really going to have to cover all of my expenses with loans? Can I even take out that much in loans in one year? Does the school offer grants to absn hopefuls? Any information helpful.

I recommend contacting their financial aid office. When I talked to their financial aid officers, they showed me a pamphlet that listed a substantial amount of grants in addition to the Cal Grants and Pell Grants.
