  1. Anyone used WIA along with Financial Aid?

    Maria Joy, The financial advisor at my school is the person who told me about WIA. I would suggest calling the school you plan to attend and talk to whoever handles the financial aid applications. Here, WIA is handled through the state job service, ...

  3. TN Technology Centers

    Same experience here in West TN for the fall class. There were appx 115 people for the 20-25 slots. I took the NET in May, the mandatory meeting was in June, applications and paperwork were due in July, the interview was at the end of July, with a...
  4. Anyone used WIA along with Financial Aid?

    Hi, Here in TN, you go through the TN Career Center. It's the job service, work force, etc. place. You register just like you are registering for work. You do this after you have been accepted to NS and after you have applied for financial aid. T...
  5. Anyone here use WIA to help cover tuition?

    Thanks, Heather! I registered on Friday. I have to call for the test date Monday. I'm a little bummed now because the test next week is on Tuesday and my son has a dr appt. That will set me back another week. Hopefully I'm not the only one. Cross...
  6. Anyone here use WIA to help cover tuition?

    Thanks. It helps now that I hear a little more about what WIA actually is. The person I spoke with didn't really have time to answer my questions. She just told me to see her after I test and apply. :stone
  7. Anyone used WIA along with Financial Aid?

    Thanks so much for posting. I think I was just overwhelmed by the intensity and the person I spoke with offered no explanation of the program at all. Just, "Go take the test and come fill out an application, then we'll talk." Kinda intimidating, ya ...
  8. Anyone here use WIA to help cover tuition?

    Heather, Thanks! I know very little about it. The FA coordinator at school told me to call WIA. I called and the person told me they were still working up the current class (one starts in Sept, one the end of Oct). The only info I received was to...
  9. Anyone here use WIA to help cover tuition?

    Thanks so much! It sounds like a great program, but it came across as the opposite of quick and painless. Did you have to test and all of that? They told me to prepare for a 3-4 hour test on math, reading and language. And what about the 6 month...
  10. Anyone 40 Or Older Starting A Lvn Program??

    Yes, you are right, in more ways than one! And my financial aid total came out nearly exact, but with a big shortfall on the front end and a windfall on the third term. I know it will even out, but I just don't have the resources to make up the diff...
  11. Anyone 40 Or Older Starting A Lvn Program??

    Count me in! I recently received my acceptance letter to start the program in October. I just celebrated my 43rd birthday. I'm a little short on Financial Aid (on the front end), but other than that, all looks good. I'd appreciates thoughts an...

  13. I'm set to begin LPN school this fall and did receive some financial aid. I have a shortage that may be covered by WIA. Just curious to hear from anyone experienced with this program. It is quite intense for such a small amount of FA.
  14. I just wanted to say congratulations! I am waiting to hear about acceptance for this fall. Our letters will not go out until August. Here's to CHANGE!!
  15. I failed my TEAS

    Hi, I didn't have to take the TEAS; I took the NET. The thing I found most helpful was a GED prep book. I got it at the public library and used it for the things I couldn't remember how to do. It has very basic descriptions/steps for all types of...
