FASFA only covers the regular yearly undergrad amount because it's not considered grad school. It's considered 5th year undergrad (which I already did and now don't qualify so am taking loans for the school I go to)

So does It cover this program cause It would be my “5th year undergrad”?

It would give u the federal aid for 5th year undergrad which is max $7500. These programs screw us because if it was considered grad school you would get $20,500. A masters program would give you the big money. If you find out anything different, PLEASE post it. That was what I was told when I called FASFA

The deposit is $200 to hold your seat however there might be a deposit for the nursing program that is separate.

I got the same email as well. I haven’t tried yet, though. Maybe we have to wait until everybody enrolls and they have the final, full class roster all set up ? It might be a little hectic right now because people are still deciding, on the waitlist, etc.

They give you two weeks from the date of your acceptance to submit a deposit.

I created one. Search just your last name and “all applicants”
