Rejected from NHCTC - Manch because I don't have any money....

U.S.A. New Hampshire

Hi everyone. I need help! I want to enter the Nursing Program so badly, but I have no money, no way to get enough financial aid to help me out, and the school said there was nothing they could do. Does anyone know of any programs that can help me? I don't think it's fair that I can't be what I want to be because I have to support my family and pay rent.

I took my NLN and passed, and got accepted to the program without being on the wait list, registered for my Anatomy and Physiology course, and then a week before I was going to start school they said that they needed more information to process my financial aid, even though a few weeks before they had told me I would be all set. Then when I gave them the rest of my info, I suddenly had to pay $1184 before I could even start taking a class.

Someone please help, I don't want to be a pizza delivery driver for my whole life!!!! :o

What state do you live in? If you quit your job and go full time, you can live off financial aid long enough to finish school.

I got student loans working full time on an RN's salary and going to school "half time", which is two classes a semester or six credit hours. :)

Good luck.

Are you a single parent? If so, usually you may be elegible for some sort of grant or something.

I know someone that is basically going to school for free because they are a 'single' parent of two. i say 'single' for a reason.

Look at all of your options... borrow extra on loans if you can to pay for living expenses while in school, and work part time if you can.. and get food stamps, wic, etc. while in school. It's not that bad as long as you aren't abusing the system like some people do.

I am having a hard time thinking I can afford going back because I already have $25k in student loans... and having to borrow another $12k or so, scares the crap out of me!

Good luck.

I didn't read the answers currently posted, so sorry if this is repeated...but have you filled out a FAFSA? I have no money after paying rent and my other bills--I can't afford to pay for school. All I did was do my FAFSA though, and that automatically gets me a loan for enough to cover the cost of everything. It is a loan, so you have to pay it back, but you don't have to until after you graduate.

hello!

so i dont know where you live in NH but i applied for northern essex in haverhill,ma and even though your not a MA resident its still very cheap. also they have day care right on campus,you can pay for you classes in installments of 4 payments and you can get help if you are part time-full time which is only 2 classes. what i LOVE about them they have ''hybrid'' classes you only meet one night a week and the rest is online for alot of the basic classes math,english,ect.. so its a big help to working people of ones with kids!

also not sure where you work but alot of hospitals will help pay for school even if you do housekeeping or ANYTHING to get into a hospital is worth it!

they also have the hybrid classes that can meet morning or night its DEFF something to check out! good luck!
