How did you pay for school?

[Chaleemon]

I'm deciding the best way to pay for school and I have a few options. I can re-fi my house, take a second on my house, get a student loan, or apply for grants.

I was a little freaked out by the cost at first, but it really doesn't cost more than a new car and probably a lot better investment!

How did you pay for chef school?

Up here in Canada, a gov't designated college/university is subsidiesed (sp?) so I only paid around $4000/8 months for chef training. I took 1 year chef training and 1 year baking that pays the same so it all came out of my own pocket. But because my school is recognized by the gov't as a college, I could apply for gov't student loans, burseries, grants, etc though I didn't.

I remember an old post a long while back that had links to culinary grants and scholarships.
