Im starting the bsn program at the jax, fl campus next month... If you can get/qualify for any grants and federal loans, that will help alot with the tuition. I have a degree too, but I never took out loans or used grants when getting it, so I can get to use the grants/fed loans now. But unfortunetly, you will most likely still owe tuition for the academic year. Im having to take out private loans to cover the rest of the tuition I owe. It is an expensive program, but I think its well worth it.

Thanks for the information! Im going to ask my advisor about it and explain my situation, and hopefully something works out. I didnt realize how hard it would be with the loans. Everyone and every website Ive looked at makes it look so easy, oh just get another co-signer.... yeah its that easy! Good luck to you, especially with school and the loan stuff!

I was wondering if anyone knew if Chamberlain had their own loan program through the school? I know schools dont like to prodcast that they do this, but I have tried every resource I have available for paying for school. I am starting the bsn program next month, and am receiving grant/fed loans, but I still owe quite a bit for tuition for fall and spring. I have tried getting private loans, but my mom doesnt have a "creditworthy" score, and my dad refuses to help. We have tried multiple banks, sallie mae, etc.... my work doesnt do tuition assistance, Ive talked to friends and what other family I have, but nothing. Im even looking into getting another job just to pay the tuition, but I have a feeling Ill be struggling while going to school full time and working 2 jobs. Im trying to get a scholarship, but I still need a loan to cover the rest. I have a friend who is in PT school, that had the same problem, where neither of her parents qualified to co-sign her loans. She called her school and explained that she had no way to pay, and they told her they had their own loan program thru the school, similiar to sallie mae. She pays a small amount each month, but she was able to get enough to live off of and pay her tuition. If anyone has any information on Chamberlain having any kind of loan program for students who have no other options, please let me know. I know they dont give out this information, and they have a payment plan, but I cant afford over 800 dollars a month.... I am going to call my advisor this week and see, but wanted to get a student's opinion. Thanks!
