Don't let money deter you from applying to PA School. There are a lot of options out there to pay for school, you just have to research and find what will work best for you. Happy Sunday all!

Adanna The PA I hardly ever post comments, but you been one of my inspiration in becoming a PA! I want to say thank you for putting yourself out there for us to learn new methods or simply teaching us step by step the process. Especially being a women of color! It’s nice to see someone who resembles you accomplishing big things! I’m almost half way done in getting my Bachelor degree, so I have a little ways to go lol. I look forward to seeing your progress. Greetings from California

If you're a civilian the navy and the airforce will pay PA school for you and pay you while you are in PA school. All you have to do is get admitted first, currently working on my admission before I turn 37.

Definitely redoing this vid, when i get into USAF!. Military is my way to PA school 😅..

Thanks for the video! I asked a question about payment options on another one of your videos before I saw this one! Great info!

Saw this at a perfect time! Good stuff

So it is possible to not go completely broke while in PA school lol. I just breathe out such a sigh of relief watching this video. Best tip you gave was sharing the medical fields version of TFA. I never knew there was such a thing until now. Thank you so much Adanna🙏🙏☺️☺️☺️

Glad this was made because i have no backup support that could afford o help me pay for basically housing & just living necessities

How many tests/quizzes/projects do you generally have in PA school in a week or a month? Of course it varies but what would you say roughly?

Another good tip would be to research the PA schools you might want to go to and figure out if it is in your financial range.

Stefania for-sure that must be the south? In Illinois there are only 5 schools in the whole state. Each are in the 80-100k range. Idk if you mean 49k for 1yr or both? Then yea, there are schools here in the 38k range per yr.

Jiron127 No I live up north and there are schools that cost 49k for both years its just a matter of doing research and figuring out which colleges have master programs for PA studies

What school is she enrolled in and what schools did she apply to?

doesn't fasfa cap at 20k a year? That still leaves like 15-20k out of pocket PER year. Private loans are no bueno and for the most part not worth.

does fafsa significantly lower cost for PA school? if you're from a low income family?

Ive been looking into Wells Fargo also, have you had any problems with them? I want to use them for my undergrad too. Thank you for all the information. You have really been a ton of help. I hoping to get into Yale because of their fully online program. It seems no other school offers that, which is very frustrating because Yale is so expensive.

Im praying to get in but of course its Yale, one of the hardest schools to get into. You should check it out.

Hey, Adanna! How do you recommend spreading the word of your crowdfunding fundraiser other than by facebook? I'm trying this route but can't seem to get any leverage! Thanks!

If I can enter PA school at 23 should I? Or should I wait til 24 when I'm an independent and fafsa will actually do something. My parents make a hefty salary.

If I were you I would apply as soon I can. FAFSA considers you an independent when you are registered under a graduate school. With that being said, you'll be capped at a $20,500 unsub loan. If you need more you'll be encouraged to get a PLUS loan. Look into ALL your options though.

Would being a nurse for a year or 2 before going to PA school be a great option. I heard that beingba MA would make more sense if you want to be a PA. I thought that being a nurse gets you hands on experience, some money and alot of information.

@AdannaThePA

6 жыл бұрын

Honestly being a nurse would be a huge benefit, but I don't think you need to be a nurse for 2 yrs before applying. Being an MA is nice because you're getting on the job training but at the same time you're also building lots of healthcare experience but being a nurse is giving you more critical care/thinking skills. There's pros and cons to both but at the end of the day you still require a bachelor's degree to become PA so even if you're just an Ma and you don't have a bachelor's degree you're still going to need to get that the Nursing degree takes care of both you having a bachelor's degree and getting patient contact experience. But again you don't need to wait 2 yrs. Straight out of nursing school should suffice.

That’s the route I’ve decided to take too, Stefania. I decided I’d rather get a nursing license first to get my hands on experience while making a livable wage. I just couldn’t justify making ~$10 an hour as a MA for two years just to get my experience in the field.

@AdannaThePA

6 жыл бұрын

As I stated before I don't think you need to be a nurse for 2 years and then apply to pay school it would be nice to get that experience and he would make an excellent PA student with the information that you've gained and the knowledge that you've learned from your two years of nursing prior however there are students that are coming in to PA School straight out of undergrad so it's not necessary it just makes you look like a better candidate. If you have the time in your willing to take those two years to be a nurse and get that experience then by all means do that but lot of PA students were pre PA students that are like 25 26 don't necessarily want to wait two years until they're 27 29 or even 30 to start PA School. Just a matter of preference.

As long as you stay focused and you keep yourself on a good schedule you should be fine with keeping up with and managing the school work

If you really don’t want loans on your back, jus work in college, save up, and if you don’t have enough money, then take a gap year, work full time, save up more, and if you still don’t have enough money, get a good job after college, work for as long as you need to pay the tuition and that should work out. I believe nobody should ever have to take out a loan for school if they just got their priorities straight!
