New SRNA - How do I get loans?

[NortheRN]

I will be starting school in 2020. I was wondering what everyone has done for loans to pay for CRNA school??

I'm in the same boat. I know you start by filling out the FAFSA. There are grad plus loans and private loans. Your school's financial aid dept will give you your cost of attendance soon.

same question here, I just got accepted and through all my excitement I realized I don't have 150k in my savings account. im hoping the welcome packet will have all that information.

I would schedule a appointment with the financial aid advisor. But, I did a grad plus loan and unsub loan. My advisor told me that they are the easiest to refinance after school. But, the interest rates are fixed. They aren’t terrible, but if you have a really good credit score I would look into private loans such as from a bank

Why get a private loan? Isn’t that more expensive?

Not necessarily! If you have a good credit score and a guarantor, your interest rate could be as low as 5%!
