Thread: Do loans cover ERAS?

Does anyone know if our loans cover the extra cost of ERAS applications and then cost of travel to interviews etc and if it does cover how much do we get? Thanks

As of last year Citibank loaned to SGU students. I along with several friends used this loan. You also don't have to take out the entire amount. I took it out 3 times. The max is $18k total.

I had called them in Jan while i was interviewing to see if they gave it to sgu students. I even gave them the dept of education code. They didn't hav sgu on the list. Did u go intO a branch or do it online?

I did it online.

Yea. They don't have sgu listed anymore, as far as I know. If I'm wrong please correct me.

Called SGU financial aid. They recommended I talk to the clinical coordinator. Oh well. Worst come worst, I'll just take a personal loan from Discover or something. Always get those in the mail along with one year 0% Apr credit cards.

I contacted financial aid - Citibank is no longer offering the loan to SGU students but Sallie Mae is (up to $15,000). I checked and SGU is indeed listed so I applied yesterday.

Are you applying for the loan as a fourth year? Or as a third year? That'll be very useful for my road map. Thanks a lot for the feedback!

4th yr. Since the loan is directed towards residency application/interview/relocation you may not be eligible as a 3rd yr.
