I am attending Everest University in Brandon Fl. I am 100% qualified to recieve all the benefits and I plan to go full time. When I went to see the Everest Financial Aid advisor the other day they said even though I am recieving the GI Bill I still need to see financial aid until they recieve the check. They suggested I do a subsidized stafford loan and a unsubsidized stafford loan and a genesis loan. From my understanding the subsidized and unsubsidized loan I would begin paying 6 months after I graduated etc. The financial advisor explained to me that I would only be able to drop the gensis loan once they start recieving payments, but not the other loans. What is the point of me getting the Post 9/11 GI bill (that covers all my schooling) if I am going to end up paying the loan after I graduate? Should I not do it all together or does anyone have any advice for me. And the Post 9/11 GI bill covers your school fully, so why should I have to continue to keep the other two loans?... Read More »
