Financial Aid Help!

Published

Hey everyone! I am currently in my junior year at a nursing school in Kentucky. I'm really needing to find some financial aid options for this next year because I just found out I won't be receiving any scholarships from the school. I'm looking into tuition repayment programs where someone will pay for school in exchange for work, but I'm just not sure because I don't know much about these programs or who to go with. I'm really not wanting to be tied down to a specific hospital because I don't know where I'm going to be living after graduation. Any ideas/tips on how to pay for school? Thanks in advance!

Outside of outside scholarships/grants, your only other option is to get some kind of work.

I already had an associates when I went into my bridge program, so I couldn't get any loans. I ended up paying for my program out of pocket. It wasn't that bad when you do a payment plan. My program was around 6k, and I paid around $400/month.

Aside from that, you can look into private loans if you have decent credit.

Oh really? How does that work since they're not a health care organization? Also, do you happen to know of any other company's that offer the same type of assistance? Thanks!
