Hello all. I've been going through the program for a little while now and I'm wondering - how do you go about getting financial aid to help offset some of the costs of Excelsior? Enrollment was big but doable..but now I'm done with prereqs and it looks like the only option for paying for exams and CPNE is private loans. Anyone have any recommended institutions to borrow from ??

Thanks.

were you in the military at all? you work for the governement? i used my GI bill for some of it, and then used tuition assistance for some of it while i was active duty. but if you work for the VA they might have some tuition assistance available.

Excelsior has many, many scholarships that they give to already enrolled students. This year I received $1200 from them, and the cost of tuition. I was really excited that will cover at least 3 test and some materials. All I did was call the financial aid office and asked for the scholarship application to be sent to me, filled it out and got it. The only thing is doing it at the right time, they only give them out 2x ayear, and i'm not really sure on the dates. Good Luck to you and if you have any more questions private mail me and I'll give you the names of the people I deal directly with.:nuke: :nuke:
