IHSS program in California?

How do I get a grant to attend a LVN program in southern california?

• I already have a government loan that I am paying. I don't want another. I want to attend a LVN program in southern california. I live in Lancaster, Ca. I work and so does my husband. What kind of grant can I qualify for? Which school offers a good LVN program that I can start ASAP? Thanks

• Answer:

  Why don't you attend Antelope Valley College? While their program starts every 12 months, it's far more affordable than all of the countless vocational medical schools in your area. It would be impossible to attend one of those schools solely under grants, especially for the LVN program. You can see if you qualify for FAFSA through AVC, and under FAFSA you can see if you qualify for the board of governor's fee waiver (pays your tuition), and countless grants such as Pell and Cal grants. And if you do receive FAFSA, you can try and sign up for EOPS which is a program of the college that offers book vouchers and even small grants throughout the semesters. But if you really want to attend one of the vocational schools, I'd opt for the Antelope Valley Medical College. While they're a bit pricey, I believe they guarantee job placement. Plus you can work out loans and defer payments until after you graduate. Good luck!
