Not sure of the dollar amount but he did tell me even if i recieved Full Financial Aid ,I'd still need a loan. I think that is because the PELL Grant is all that is offered. For whatever reason there is no TAP with them.
I talked to him today and he said they'd handle all the final Financial Aid processing on orientation day.

Yup...same here...He said, all will be discuss during orientation. He did tell to bring income tax papers(all required docs) w/ me.

No tap, because it's a part-time school, and Veeb is privately own, so is
Boces. Pell is Federal and applies to all schools credited by the Board of Ed.

You????

After lpn...I'm thinking jumping into the online program for BSN at Jacksonville,Fl...

Their online course seems promising and it's a campus base University as well. I'm trying to avoid anymore loan. Veeb will be the last time for me to pull out loans. I owe LIU so much money for a degree, I"m barely working on. Hopefully, whatever facility I choose will cover educational expenses. I just have to make sure what's the catch. Little details they sometimes fail to inform you.

I'm keeping my hands cross, but until then, I'm concentrating on Nclex-pn. One step at a time!
