Anyone have any experience with this?
I just found out that I FINALLY got accepted into the nursing program here, passed my entrance exams today, and am going to be filing for financial aid within the next week.

Congrats, Tin!!! Always wonderful to welcome another nurse to the group!

Check out this information from FinAid about student loans after bankruptcy - http://www.finaid.org/questions/bankruptcy.phtml

Don't forget to check the professional nursing organizations for special interest loans and other state and local sources for school loans too.

Good luck - hope you find all the dollars you need for school!

I had no problem getting Stafford loans during/after my Ch. 7 BK. It may be a problem getting private loans, but federal loans are guaranteed (unless you've previously defaulted) and they don't check your credit score.

Congrats and good luck in school!

I was eligible for BOTH federal and private loans!
I have the funds I need, and I start school January 7th!

I graduate December23rd!

Tin Roof, who did you get the private loan through? I am looking at going back to school but I don't think I can qualify with my status (dependent) for much $$ from stafford loans.

thanks,

Student Loan Xpress.
I could have gone through Sallie Mae, but the principal of that lender, steered me to another one!
