I'm about to start medic school in the fall and the cost is about 7k after book. I don't have 7k in my pocket so I was wondering what some of you did to pay for medic school? I dont think that I qualify for a pell grant as I have a full time job. Any help would be nice!

I never qualified for grants or anything like that so I got a student line of credit from my bank. Much cheaper than putting it on a credit card.

you are pre approved for x amount. You are only charged for what you actually use. While in school you only pay the interest (which is a very low payment...my highest was like 15 a month) once you graduate you move to your repayment plan that you and the bank have already worked out. It is very similar to how most student loans works and I am sure it varies by banks.

Is this program part of a college? If so you might be able to apply for FAFSA.

If you go through an accredited program at a junior college, community college you should be able to get a student loan just as you would for any other degree. In some cases you can get a loan even if it isn't a degree program. I would encourage you to do your research on student loans first though and only take out what you really need. Student loans can be a burden that take decades to pay off.

It's for everyone, even if you make a million a year. FAFSA lets you gain access to education loans, which are super low interest and often don't begin accruing interest until after you've graduated. If you are low income then you can qualify for the Pell Grant (free money!) and Stafford Loan (super low interest loan).
