I got accepted, and I wasn't a veteran

I got in...

I transferred from a Local CC. I had the following

EMT 5 years exp

First Generation

PTK *honors program*

two AA Degrees

3.7 GPA with 110 credits

I was notified later than id like. And the Financial Aid offer was 33k for the Spring semmester which is insane... has anyone else been given a similar quote. I did submit my FAFSA, and I emailed them about the other Scholarships such as PTK, Honors, first gen. I just don't want to commit then have a nightmare scenario where the loan gets pulled for some odd reason..

I was able to see the official aid offer on the portal (accepted the 21st, aid offer shown on the 22nd). The grants and scholarships were already accepted on my behalf (because they are free and do not have to pay them back) where as the loans I was offered I was able to accept or decline, it of course depends on your situation which you decided to do.

Additionally, my transfer scholarship was outlined in my acceptance letter and is valid for 6 semesters as long as I am passing. FAFSA will of course depend on your adjusted gross income, but with this being a private and expensive school the FAFSA award amount should remain high each year you apply.

Actually they gave me 7k off tuition for the Spring semester leaving me with 33k left to pay... I know it's expensive but isn't this program supposed to be a 2year program. I was expecting to pay 45-50 total for two years...

The program is two full years, 6 semesters long (Spring Summer fall x2), and tuition is $1,585 PER UNIT.... assuming you have done all of the core classes and only need to take the nursing courses, it equals to a little over $106k for the two year program. I am a veteran so heavily rely on my post 9/11 gi bill and the yellow ribbon program, but that alone still wouldn't cover it. Without the FAFSA grant and transfer scholarship offer I wouldn't have been able to accept. Other students I know who go there are having to take out loans. It is a hard and risky decision to invest in your future, but I personally am not good at standardized testing and didn't have a competitive TEAS score to be accepted into a CSU.

True I did the calculations it's just odd, I did the math. 67 unit are left for me even though some of the credits I transferred over could've been applied to core credit, which were applied to elective unit. I have reached out to admissions and hopefully will hear back soon. Additionally the 14k per year and 4k per year along with a one time 4k scholarship were not reflected in me financial aid offer. If they did I would owe 48k for the two years to complete the program. I have no experience with taking out student loans, and have heard of others having theirs pulled. I have great credit, I just need to figure out where to pull the loan from I think.

I would definitely reach out to the admissions team to confirm transfer credits, and the financial aid office to confirm the amount and length of your aid. There are student loans through FAFSA but also private loans, but the financial aid office should be able to give you all of those options to see what will work best for you.
