Hi!
I am a Canadian student who will be attending NECO in the fall, but am struggling with coming up with the financial resources to cover the hefty tuition. From what I calculated, 4 years at NECO will run me ~$320 000 CAD and the maximum bank loan that I can get through a Canadian bank has been $125 000 CAD. Now I personally do not just have that amount of money hanging out in my savings to cover the rest, so I am wondering how other Canadian OD students (or soon to be OD students) have found resources to fund their education?
An OD that I work with (Canadian) went to NECO and graduated 15ish years ago, and said she was able to get a full loan through the state of Massachusetts...but I haven't been able to find any info on an option like that.
My alternative is to defer for a year and work a ton to save more, but evidently there is a way for Canadians to finance American OD programs because there are quite a few Canadian students in the US from what I can tell...so I am hoping to be able to find ways to figure this out!
Any insight is greatly appreciated
