Help!!! My employer has cancelled their tuition reimbursement program. Plus, the government only offers high-interest loans for my program (no grants). I am slated to begin studying full-time at Roosevelt University this summer. I will be pursuing a Master of Science in Human Resources Management degree and tuition for this 11-course (31-credit hour) program will total $22,729.
In addition, my parents were going to let me live with them in their basement while I went to school, but my grandmother had to move in with them so now I have to rent an apartment for $650.00 per month.
Thank you for taking time to read about my situation. I appreciate any words of encouragement and/or financial support. My paypal email address is octavio@illinoisalumni.org
Best regards! Octavio Santiago
P.S. I can provide a copy of my acceptance letter if you'd like to see it.
