<p>Hello, I’m really interested in applying to a precollege program this upcoming summer. </p>
<p>I don’t know too much about loans… would any outside company or financial aid grant me around a $6,000 loan? I’m sixteen right now, and a junior in high school. </p>
<p>Thank you so much</p>
<p>No, you will not be able to get a student loan for a pre-college program because you are not enrolled as a degree seeking student in college.</p>
<p>well, thanks for the response. Big letdown, really.</p>
<p>I was invited to the Cambridge College Programme over in England…my options are running out :(</p>
<p>There are a number of summer programs that offer financial aid if your family demonstrates financial need – so that is a consideration.</p>
<p>Many students work and save money to attend these summer programs, but is is a little late to do this this summer.</p>
<p>It would be foolish to borrow money to attend a summer precollege program – so it is a good thing that no one does lend money for you to do that. </p>
<p>Keep in mind that the majority of these programs are money-makers and that they accept just about anyone who can pay who is an average student and doesn’t have huge disciplinary problems. </p>
<p>An “invitation” from the Cambridge College Programme was just an invitation to spend your money with them. While it would be fun, I am sure, it isn’t some once in a lifetime special opportunity that you should sell the house so that you can pay for it kind of program.</p>
<p>you should save the money/loans for college. there are other activities that are as worthwhile as a summerabroad program and free, like volunteering, etc.</p>
