I want to go to Cat Tales Zoological Training Center in Spokane Washington. But all of the websites don't list that school. Any one know what I should do?

As it is called a training center it may not be eligible for federal aid because it is probably not accredited by anyone which means while you may learn at the school you will not be granted a degree which will be able to hold much water in the zoological field. If you are interested in zoology look toward universities which offer degrees in it. I visited their website and it clearly states in their catelog that there is no financial aid avaliable.
On a side note I have a degree in zoology and found getting a job in a zoo very difficult with most positions requiring a Master's degree. If you want more information on this visit www.aza.org.

PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
It might mean the school is a proprietary school, which means "for profit". Often those schools are not accredited. If the school is not accredited, it is not eligible for federal financial aid. The degree is worthless and the credits will not transfer. Find out if the school is accredited by a recognized agency and then double check with the agency to make sure.

Have you tried talking to the school's financial aid office? Often, they have a list of places where their students have gotten help in the past with funding classes.

It may be possible that ur school does NOT take federal aid... each school has different agencies/banks they work with.. When I went to school in MO, the lenders were different than in AR.. check with ur school and b sure they accept fin. aid and then ask them for a list of their loan lenders..
