So I have my a.a. and waiting till after the holidays to finish with tesu! My question would be if anyone has any experience with still receiving FAFSA (I don't think I can use new mexico state out of state since I already have my A.a.) to then help pay for the tests!
Hopefully this makes since to anyone reading. Cheers!

My question would be if anyone has any experience with still receiving FAFSA (I don't think I can use new mexico state out of state since I already have my A.a.) to then help pay for the tests! My experience is that I was unable to use Pell Grant or loan money for testing, however I was able to use a very small amount of my Pell Grant towards a regular course at TESU. Most people either pay out of pocket for testing/ACP (like SL, Study, ed4credit, etc), or find a way to have their employer or the GI Bill-type thing cover it. Someone else can probably explain it better than me

What I did was take two 8 week courses at my local community college and used my pell grant to pay for those. The amount that was left over was sent to me as a refund and I used that to pay for some CLEP and DSST tests. It worked out for me because I didn't have to pay for any of the tests out of pocket.

I suggest using money out of pocket and using used books and getting instant cert or the rea clep books. If you are low on funds go part-time (6 credits) and clep 1 to 2 classes a month.

So, were you able to try this at all, because I am looking into this as well as of this week and trying to gather up informtion on what's needed. |
