Graduate student loan question
Posted on 6/28/16 at 7:22 am

My wife starts Nurse Practitioner school in August and we are looking at student loan options. My question is does anyone allow you to borrow more than the cost of tuition? We would like to borrow a little extra to pay for books, fees and help supplement her loss of income from working less.

Yes, you will be allowed to borrow up to the "cost of attendance" which includes living expenses.

You can borrow $20,500 per year for grad school. It works different than undergrad, the cost of attendance deal isn't as big of a deal.
And if you work for a non-profit hospital (university, religious) for 10 years and make the minimum payments, the balance is forgiven.

Are you employed? Are you capable of covering any expenses over the cost of her tuition? I'd do anything possible to borrow as little as you can.

She should be able to work while in NP school.

Student loans can potentially wreck your financial future. If you take them to term you'll be paying back around 300% of the original loan
