Stafford Loan

[Cranky]

mj03 just mentioned that the stafford loan is not being instated anymore, is that true? I thought it was coming. Oh man, if that doesn't happen I am disappointed. I was so hopeful.

:wink: mj03 was referring to the past.

I can agree about the loan check holding. But i heard the reason why they do that is because when they used to send out the checks early, students would not enroll in classes and clincials and take off with the loan checks. this is one reason why Spartan lost the Stafford Loans. They are just scared about giving the checks out ealrier.

Spartan had stafford loans in the 90s and mj03 said because students used to take out loans and then not go to class or clinicals, as in take off with the $$ without going to school or clinical rotations, "this is one reason why spartan lost the stafford loans". IN THE PAST. :wink:

Spartan was just APPROVED TO PARTICIPATE AGAIN :D

Well maybe not....dress me up like lil' bo peep ? Nah, skip that one too :lol:

Ok, I have confirmed that neither am I 'silly' or suffering from presbycusis (hearing impairment) to you newbies :wink: Don't tell me I never gave you anything.

OK, I just called Suntrust. There number is 1-800-552-3006.

Converstaion as follows: Hey, I called yesterday, just wanted to ensure that you guys had the stafford loan. Yes, we do. Ok, let me ask you a question, I called yesterday and just wanted to confirm that i heard correctly. YOu are working with Spartan on this ? She said yes. But you have to call them, they are the ones who approve you for how much you're going to get. I said I thought you determined that. She said, no you have to fill out the FAFSA form and then contact your school. I said Ok. I actually confirmed again with Spartan being approved. She must thing either I am hearing impaired or a moron. See, that's what I do for you guys...I put MY reputation on the line :lol: Hey, it's all about the TEAM!!

So, there you have it. I really don't want to call the school. I'm sure they have heard enough of this. If I was going to fill the form out, I would call and find out what else I had to do Also take note, if you are going in September, you won't have enough time, because the form takes 3-4 weeks to (everyone with me) PRAAAAAHCESS. Everythings a damn process these days :lol: But January's looking good.

If by chance you call, and somethings a miss, and they seem irritated that someone told you wrong info, my name is Sol....Sol Rosenberg (Jerky boys - for those who remember)

CHEERS!!!

That's wonderful to hear Chris, but I wouldn't count a whole lot on something that's not official yet. Regardless, it seems like this Stafford project is pushing forward. Yay? LoL.
