Hi,

I been contemplating on taking an online Medical Coding course. I've compared Andrews with Career Step and I'm leaning towards Andrews, but I just can't afford the cost at this time even with its payment plan. Does Andrews offers some kind of financial aid?

I hope someone from Andrews can answer my inquiry.

Sallie Mae loan is a possibility. Workforce Development is another possibility. The payment plan does require a minimum of $1,000 downpayment and two years to pay the remainder, with no interest charged. Do you have any gift-giving occasions coming up so that you could ask family members to help? I once made $3,000 on a garage sale. That's another possibility.

I hope you can find a way to make it happen.

Thanks, Linda.

I'll be discussing this further with my husband. I am seriously considering this thing, so I would just have to find my way to make it happen.

Some of our students raised money by selling home-cooked casseroles, desserts, and whatnot to friends and relatives. If you are known for some yummy dish, you might be pleasantly surprised by how much money you could make this way.

I recall we've had some students who cleaned houses and washed cars. Once they explained what they wanted to do, friends and relatives were happy to "contribute" to the cause. Some did so by buying casseroles or house-cleaning services, and others were so impressed by the prospective student's plans that they just donated.

The yard sale is a good suggestion. Some students report that they didn't think they had anything to sell, but once they began looking, they found they had loads of stuff. They made enough to cover tuition and they never missed the items.
