Well I am only at a 2 year college now but my Pell Grant alone (that is not even counting my student loan) covered *all my tuition, books, etc and I still got a $500 check left over to put it in the bank. Then my student loan check was for $1800.00 for the semester.
I think even at more expensive private colleges they offer more scholarships to help out since most people can't afford it on their own. Good luck!

I didn't get anything from the government. Surprise surprise!! Although, I did get a 1/2 paid academic scholarship, and I am trying to get a leadership thing from the school that will cover the other half. (These two cover all four years) Good luck everybody and push your finanical aid office to give you more. They have, but you have to push for it!

Straba,
What's up girl? I do not get financial aid for school here, however, I have been begging the people from the caribbean associations to sp[onsor me. As you know as an international Student i have to be in school full-time no matter what happens. Straba, are you from Jamaica? I have never met a person from the Jamaican soil here.
Hold tight Straba and remember "No Woman nuh cry"(Bob Marley).

Financial Aid covered all of my LPN except I did have to get an $800 loan for summer. I woudn't have had to get that, if I hadn't have spent my refund from other semesters.
I am working on pre-reqs for RN now, and financial aid continues to pay for my schooling.
I'm very fortunate...If it wasn't for Financial Aid, I wouldn't be a nurse today. :)
Yow! Yes , I am Jamaican (Kingstonian through an through!!). It's nice to see JA representing here!! You're the first Jamaican I've met on the board. How long have you been in the U.S.? Good luck with the Carribean Associations, as i've heard it can be tough to get anything from them, not impossible, but tough. I have a friend that was a CASS student, and was sent to Oregon (col like a r**s ya know) for her schooling ,but not for nursing though. Thankfully I was able to apply for financial aid (just became a perm. resident) but my school is expensive, and I don't know if it will be covered. We'll see. Best of luck to you girl, show'em what your made of. keep me updated.

I will be attending a pretty expensive private college for my BSN ($ 20,000 a year
). I'm wondering how many of you had to rely on financial aid to cover tuition, and how much did it cover?
