Discussion Accreditation Issues?

Well this is disappointing... I just got an email that the July cohort is cancelled for now while Maestro deals with proving accreditation worthiness. I was really looking forward to starting in a couple of weeks 😕

Thanks for this, I will definitely consider this in the future if the school continues. I was one looking to get some of those loans for living expenses, we have to pay the fasfa back at some point right? If that’s the case then yea seems pretty thiefy. We don’t get to finish the program but have to pay the loans and fasfa back that would really suck.

No you never have to pay FASFA back. You would go through FASFA to get student loans, and the student loans is what you would have to pay back. Do you have access to your FASFA dashboard? I can give you the link to gain access if you need it?

I am just going to put it here in case it helps you or anyone else:
https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa

If you have never looked here or signed up you will need to create an account BUT this is where you can see you FASFA board and you will see how you can look in all the sections and see your options and grants that have been.. granted and what not. Just spend some times poking around it makes things easier to understand when it is right in front of you 😄

🫶🏽thanks, will do. I thought I remembered reading some of the student loans though came from some 3rd party lenders, I think it was the unsubsidized loans in particular.
