TESC Living Expense Loans

[Derek]

Hey,

Just getting ready to fully enroll at TESC and am in search of options as far as getting a Tuition and Living Expense Loan so that I will not have to work while attending. That way I'll have my tuition covered for the year I have to get my degree and to pay my monthly expenses and CLEP costs without the need of working.

Wells Fargo offers one that was directly paid to the student, however, it is not approved by TESC. They offer another option where the entirety of the loan will be paid to TESC with the same 6-month grace period after graduation. I am about to apply for it, however, I just wanted to make sure the remainder would be dispersed to me.

I'm looking for a $25,000 loan to cover everything for the next year. Rent, food, books, tuition, CLEPs, utility bills, etc. Would TESC give me the lump sum, or pass it out in increments? If they do it in increments, would there be any way to get it all at once?

Anyone know of any other loans that have the deferred payments and will be paid directly to the student, or any other ideas for that matter?

Thanks,

Derek
