Where does everyone have their loans through? What scholarships/financial aid has everyone found?

 

[VET 2008]

I have stafford loans (subsidized and unsubs) and health professions loans. I didn't need private loans when I was in school.

Your school will likely have some scholarships available. I don't know how they decide who gets them or not because I know a lot of people who didn't get them but that will/may vary depending on the school.

I would also check with your state and see if they have scholarships. That is were I got some nice scholarships and got them each year of vet school as well (I wonder if that was the case because people didn't know about them?).

Most scholarships are awarded based on a combination of academics and need. A few have more specific requirements such as being from a certain area or having a particular interest. It really just depends on what the donor wants.

At our school the scholarships are pretty much reserved for those who have elite GPAs.... and they give out about 10... maybe... so good luck with that.
