Hello, my name is Valerie and this winter i was accepted into Parsons for undergrad for the fall 2012 semester. This is absolutely my dream school and first choice and after completing the summer program in 2011 my heart is absolutely set on going here. The problem is that tuition including room/board is close to 60k and my family just cannot afford it! Parsons has given me about 9k in scholarships and FAFSA gave me about 5.5k per year in loans…however this is not enough! My father does not want to take out a Plus Loan because he wishes any loans to be on my name not his…Does anyone know what I can do to get extra aid? Has anyone had experience in financing the Parsons education? What kind of private loans are out there that people have used? Where did you get your funds? Any response is helpful, if anyone would like you can even email me at valeria.segal***********. Please and thank you!!!
