jenniv158 5 Posted October 10, 2013 Does anyone know of any scholarships to apply for in California? I'm trying to go to school for medical assisting but they told me the only way to do this is by taking out a private loan of $17,000 for the tuition cost. I was going to do this but I'm afraid I'll get in debt. And not being eligible for financial aid sucks.. I don't know what to do. Do any of you have any suggestions or experiences similar to mine? And do you guys know of any way I can get a scholarship or any type of financial aid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaymun86 7 Posted October 10, 2013 Look into the California dream act. Also I'm assuming that you are looking into one of those devry out in 7 months type of school ( which the California dream act might not cover but Idk) my advice to you would be to just attend a regular community college and take the medical assisting program there. It might take you just a bit longer but trust me it looks better on your resume. I know a lot of people who went to those programs and no job, a ton of debt. Medical assisting alone should not cost 17k my A.S degree didn't even cost that much. Goodluck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
