Receiving Financial Aid after bachelors degree???

<p>Is this possible? I want to apply to med school in the next year or so, but still need a few classes in order to be able to do so. I graduate undergrad in May. I would like to take these classes "part time" I guess? I will not be pursuing another degree. Is there any way to get aid for this situation, or am I out of luck? I am 24 years old. Thanks!</p>

<p>What classes do you need?
Have you considered taking them at a community college?</p>

<p>You will have to pay for those classes yourself. Once you have a bachelors degree, aid is mostly loans. And I think to even get a loan, you have to be working towards a degree, which you wouldn’t be.</p>

<p>you may want to look into a post-bacc program. Don’t know if you can get a loan for that.</p>

<p>You may have to take the classes at a local CC and self-fund.</p>

<p>You have to be a matriculated student in a degree seeking program to be eligible for financial aid. Since you already HAVE a bachelors, it would have to be a masters. Post bacc programs are considered masters level, I believe, but they are full time programs.</p>

<p>Talk to the financial aid office. Post bacc students doing prerequisites for masters and professional programs are often eligible for limited loans to complete their coursework. Your aid office can work with you to find out if YOU qualify for loans. You might want to begin with the admissions office to find out what aid-eligible programs might be available in your situation.</p>
