college loans and college applications

Oh, great. Our kid was accepted two years ago at SDSU, too, but the nursing program is “impacted” and there’s a three-year waiting list. Goes to a private college in CA, big merit scholarship but we are tapped out after paying for the first two years. The kid will be a junior in the fall. Withougt student loans…sunk. Any advice appreciated.

It’s not clear – are you saying your kid is going to finish up at SDSU? If so, have your kid get a job on campus. After the probation period, campus employees are eligible for free tuition.

That’s the way one of our kids is going through school in the Cal State system. He takes pride in not relying on mom and pop. That makes me proud.

Thanks, Svelte. No, she is not finishing up at SDSU. See, the three-year SDSU nursing school wait would only start ticking for her this fall. She has to stay put. We paid for the first two years of the private college (with help from her working in the summers) but from now on, she’s on her own. At least she’s pretty assured of getting a job as a nurse as soon as she graduates, so the student loans (if she can get them) won’t be so ominous. She plans to work as a nurse to put herself through grad school (wants to be a nurse practitioner).

Great advice about getting a job at SDSU. I did that myself when I went there, but they didn’t have the tuition deal back in my day (I’m ancient).

CMcG – There are loan repayment programs available to nursing students who commit to working in a state institution (like a veterans home) for a period of time after school, or for nursing students who commit to teaching instead of practicing for some period of time, since part of the reason why educational capacity for nursing students is so dismal is a lack of nursing instructors. These options might not work for your daughter if she plans to go straight to grad school, but they are a way to stay out of debt. The teaching program is called SNAPLE and is administered through the California Student Aid Commission.
