Financing: Government Student Loan.
I recently discovered that as a mature student I might qualify for a government student loan. So, I filled out an application on line. I was pleasantly surprised at the automatically assessed amount. Now I have to wait to see if this will get approved.
Thanks for reading. I've decided this blog is finished. It has served its purpose for me and I hope others will find it useful as either a reference for their own research into MBA degrees or for nostagic ends as they remember their own past journey through an MBA program.
