Karen,

Thanks for replying and the information. However, the majority of the information is for schools other than Drexel. I have been accepted to Drexel. Also, since this is a 2nd undergrad degree for me, I do not qualify for Pell & other grants, just the loans. However, I am not giving up; not yet!

Take out loans, loans, and more loans. Several hospitals offer some sort of tuition reimbursement when you start working for a few years committment. Last I checked Jefferson Health System was offering $15,000 for 3 years and Tenet was offering $20,000 for 3 years. Of course, that's before taxes, so your $15,000 will end up being more like $11,000. And if you don't stay the designated amount of time you don't get to keep the money. Also, I got some money through the H1B program-- not sure if there is still funding through this or not. Also, you may want to check out PHEAA, they will offer some loan repayment if you work for a participating hospital.
