Financing Carribean schools

[sleepy31]

Before I spend the money on an application to a school, I am trying to make sure that I can handle the cost of it. I am interested in a couple of the Caribbean schools that meet the requirements for US federal education funding. Could anyone tell me how that works and what types I could be eligible for if I meet requirements (and I probably do)?

I have federal loans, and I know what they are. HOWEVER, I was looking for some specifics. Cost of school (including living expenses) vs. loans granted and yadda, yadda, yadda....

I did. Obviously that is where I started. However, even after contacting them, I only got an email that said to call. It didn't help at all. I was hoping someone with some direct experience in this matter might find this posting and help me out.

Okay, does anyone have some insight, some actual experience dealing with..... federal loans vs. the costs of the top three. The websites DO NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH INFORMATION. The numbers do not add properly as far as the federal stuff is concerned. PLEASE... ANYONE WHO HAS GONE THROUGH THIS PROCESS THEMSELVES????????

I am very, very self-sufficient. I have been to as many websites as I can think of for information. However, the bottom line is this.. THE SCHOOLS present package deals to FASFA and that is the most the students can get. In some cases, especially with medical school, it is enough to cover the entire cost - but NOT ALWAYS. Those are the numbers that I am hoping someone can show me. How much of the cost did your loans cover of the actual bill?

If you haven't gone through this process or are not a loan provider/school financial aid counselor, please, please don't provide me with websites.
