The financial aid office of your school is usually a good place to start -- they should be able to direct you to available scholarships, grants, student loans, etc.
yeah I tried that they have nothing....

We might need to know a little more about your situation.
Government: Military, Indian, PHS and VA will pay for the bulk (if not all at ETSU/UT). The state has a payback, which is almost useless unless you plan to teach at a Community College, and I'd be interested to see how many have applied for it. Some hospitals will pay a portion, depends upon your hospital.
You might try a physicians group or busy doc. Some might pay for part/all depending upon your relationship. One of my best friends got thru VU this way. Again, we need to know more.
I used VA/Military benefits. Didn't cost me a dime, but I owed years and am paying for it...still.
Don't forget scholarships as well...esp if you plan to go full-time. Good luck!
