LOANS AND SCHOLARSHIPS.


Question Posted Sunday August 31 2008, 11:02 pm

I plan on going to college for Nursing.
Classes I've taken:
All Honors English, Honors History, Honors French, and 1 yr of Honors Latin.
Maths: Algebra 1, 2, and Geometry..this next year i'm taking College Algebra (not college level, that's just the name)
Sciences:
Physical Science= A overall grade
Biology 1= A overall grade
Biology 2= A overall grade
Chemistry= B+ Overall grade

Soon, I'm taking AP Bio (college level and college credits) and I'm also taking Anatomy & Physiology.

I have a lot of leadership experience, being in JROTC, National Honors Society, Youth Court, and other minor clubs.

Do you guys think that I would get a scholarship for Nursing? I know it's really competitive, but I'd like to know.
Also, my GPA is a 3.3 out of a 4.0 (it wasnt updated the last time i checked it which was december, but i'll know the updated one soon, and it'll still be around that level) I haven't taken any easy classes, either..like you know the fun classes. So are my chances good?

Also, where is a great place to go for loans? I really need help on the money side of college, so any help would be GREAT! thank you all so much!

Different schools and areas have different scholarship programs. I think your chances of getting a couple scholarships is awesome. You've got a good GPA, and you are active in clubs.

You need to talk to your guidance councelor at school. She can get you applications for different scholarships you qualify for, and she can explain everything you may want to know.

You can get loans with help from your parents at the bank, but usually people get student loans from the college. Again, that's something you will want to discuss with your guidance councelor, or student advisor in college.

If you have a vocational school near you, you should definitely take the Nursing program if it's not too late. It's hardwork, but you can leave highschool being an LPN. Then you can continue your education further if you wish to be an RN or something higher. It's also a hell of a lot cheaper than doing it all in college.
