As some of you may remember I was accepted into Hickey College's Vet Tech program back in October, but I didn't get to do the fun part of financing until after the new year. Well it had to be postponed even further since my trip to Hawai'i was planned the second week of January.
To cut to the chase, I applied for a student alone and didn't get it. Got HJ to co-sign, we still couldn't get it (which is odd -- it's not like we don't have credit, we're able to get loans for brand new vehicles but I can't get a loan for school????), I couldn't have my parents co-sign since their identities were BOTH just stolen and they're still working out problems with credit companies.
So I thought all doors were being slammed shut, and $14k for half the year isn't exactly cheap.
But I got a letter yesterday saying I qualified for a "special program" that isn't credit based, and I don't u nderstand the terms, it isn't a scholarship and I will have to pay it back (I guess it's almost like the school took out a loan *for* me)
but bottom line -- I'm good to go! I'm in! I start in two weeks!! They called for scrub sizes... that's exciting!! :D
I'm just really excited I finally get to make something of my life doing something I love
