Because this isn’t the same as everywhere else. A lot of the loan assistance stuff comes from grants by the city of Indy paid either to Republic or LIFT (I’m not sure of the exact details) which then passes it on to the students. The $15k for initial loan assistance seems to be offered to everyone at the moment but the feeling I got was that it was limited to the first few initial classes. Maybe the first year of classes? I’m not sure as they didn’t specify and I’m not even sure they know exactly yet since they (LIFT) aren’t the ones controlling it. Regardless of if you pay cash or if you use their loan provider you are eligible for the $15k in loan assistance.
I’m waiting to get the details in writing as so far I’ve only discussed it in person and over the phone with them. They said I should be receiving an email about it shortly.
