Lone Star Fall 2012 ADN Applicants

Published

I applied to Lone Star - ADN program Spring 2012. I was accepted as an alternate. I am hoping to get a call from the nursing department saying there is a spot for me. If not I will be reapplying for the next application period for entrance to the program in the Fall 2012. Good luck everyone!!!!

Stephalump, what happens if you haven't been able to work for the past two years because of circumstances? Do you think that would keep a person out? :(

Nah. That's probably better.

I have been offered a financial aid package. Did anyone get offered the package then denied? The package has been up there since the middle of April. It is for fall 2012/spring 2013. Are they going to take it back?

Stephalump, which workforce did you go to? I am on a workforce scholarship and I have recently picked up my voucher for the summer class, textbooks, uniforms, and shoes. I was never told that craziness. Who is your workforce representative?

Yes....my summer & fall financial aid showed awarded and I accepted them both, but they are now threatened to be taken back because of the suspension. :(. Filed the appeal today....fingers crossed.

Good luck on your appeal. So far I meet all three requirements. My GPA is 4.0, I have never dropped a class, and I will complete the program within the max. allowed time frame. I was starting to sweat it. I hope everyone gets some good news about their financial aid. I have 76 credit hours complete and only 30 more to finish the program. That is two credit hours below the max. timeframe. Glad to have learned this information, I know not to take chem next summer in order to have fin aid to complete the program ;-). Good luck to everyone else, I wish you all the best

I was never told it either until Friday! I went to

Huntsville and then Conroe, and it's all the same insanity. I should here what's going on tomorrow, I guess.

I know....at first I thought that was just for fall and was thinking goodness gracious. So should we build bookcases in our cars to haul them around? ?

Nooooo, TLCarter! Not you, too! Care to be part of our Financial Aid Sit-In?

Not sure who asked about Workforce, but the easiest thing to do is call an office and ask to speak to them about it. It is need based, but also based on how many credit hours you have and all that good stuff. If you qualify, it's a lottery system. I think the maximum amount they pay every year is $6,000, so it's more than enough to cover the cost of school. They pay for tuition, books, supplies (as long as they come from a supply store or the college bookstore), testing fees, scrubs and shoes, and gas cards. You can qualify, but the funding isn't guaranteed. They can freeze it at any time, so you have to have a

backup plan....it was frozen last year for a couple of months.

Anyway, there's an application and they need a bunch of stuff like birth certificate and SS card and acceptance letter and 26 weeks of paycheck stubs.

When & where?!?!

I'm in the midst of a mini which is kicking my behind in the amount of reading required. Trying to work full time, manage a household and deal with financial aid is making me cranky. Lol

After you submit the application along with the required documents, the process is supposed take somewhere around 21 days before they issue a decision. Or at least that's what happened in my situation. Did you also turn in a cost obligation form from the workforce representative at Lone Star?

You could get a rolling briefcase to haul them around in!?! If not by the end of the semester you will be having back pains ;-)
