He has ADHD/Dyslexia, etc. We paid out of pocket last year and now his college fund is exhausted. He did get $6500 loans from Feds towards tuition this year but now having to get private loans. The problem is his GPA is terrible. He will never be a stellar student. Some lenders want to see at least a 3.0 GPA. This might never happen for him. We are trying to get as good a loan as possible but it infuriates me to have to pay more interest due to his GPA when he has disabilities. BTW...Y'all were very helpful when I was going back to school so I am hoping someone might have some good advice. Thanks!
So, he still has open slots for CLEP. Is that an option? http://www.citadel.edu/root/mba?option=c...Itemid=768
Based on their tuition rate, every CLEP he passes saves you $2500 in student loans and is one less scholarship to apply for- but you have to do it now, CLEP won't work after the sophomore year.
