Student private loan

Hi everyone

i recently got my AA and applied for two programs. Unfortunately, my family is in a terrible financial situation and I have no choice but to use private student loans. I called some famous companies and banks and they said the school determines my eligibility based on my education cost.

We are a family of 4 with low income. I have two children age 3 and 1. Anybody has ever been in the same situation? They offered me Pell Grant and Stafford loans, but those are not enough since I have to pay for full time daycare for both kids while I’m in the program

    Generally speaking private loans are not available for this kind of expense, particularly not when you do not meet the financial and/or credit criteria. It isn't clear to me if you have a two year nursing degree or an Associates of the Arts in something else. If you have a two year nursing degree, go to work as an RN and stay there long enough that you qualify for tuition reimbursement. If you do not yet have a nursing degree, consider getting a CNA certification and go to work as one at a hospital long enough to apply for tuition reimbursement.

    Sadly, I would never recommend to ANYONE that they finance cost-of-living expenses via student loans. Ever. It is just not a good decision.
