@Jenniferhc, I love your post! :coolgleam:
Then, you weren't following the conversation. Cyrus asked what's the alternative to CollegePlus for a low income family. There are alternatives and a truly low income family wouldn't even be able to afford CollegePlus.

There are alternatives and a truly low income family wouldn't even be able to afford CollegePlus. With CBEs and the Big 3, you're able to save a lot of time, which is one advantage they have over CCs. What if that low-income family also prefers to earn a degree faster? (Like a lot of CPers do.) Couldn't be done with those CCs and 4-year colleges because of all the online classes required. Just trying to point out that CP is a most viable alternative for many.

There's a bit of publius2k4 and a bit of rebel100 in me. This thread...all the emotions...all the passionate debate...the legendary storytelling...not sure if I'd be relieved or sad to see it all end. hilarious

sanantone Wrote:Your income can't be that low if you can afford $3,000 out of pocket even if you're making payments. For families with low incomes, there is the Pell Grant that offers a maximum of $5550 a year. Many community colleges fall under that price and even some 4-year colleges. These colleges also offer online degree programs and accept CBEs, although, there is a limit on CBEs. Even with the CBE limits, that brings the already low price down significantly and knocks off at least a year of college.
I will not debate what the price is... and yes, we can do CP, because we lack in other areas... but, with this Pell Grant, don't you have to go to a campus for college? Are you able to have the flexibility and lack of deadlines that I have through CP?

Are you counting the number of posts, or the pages? because we are on page seven... but there are 244 (with mine) posts.

The Econobox story is artfully written, but it still makes the narrative way too much about one critic of CollegePlus, rather than CollegePlus itself on its merits.

sanantone... don't think that you are converting me. I am just trying to probe into what you say...
Oo... and could you change the opening few sentences for this thread? They seem to get people off on the wrong note. It is rather severe, and insulting... especially if you are friends with CP workers and with Brad Voller (sp), and his friends...
Just thought that I should mention that, as it made me come in ready to spread flaming lead around.... (figure of speech... not literal.)

You have to take scheduled courses, from a school with Title IV federal student aid eligibility. These can be distance learning courses. Each of the Big Three, Liberty, and over 4,490 other two- and four-year colleges (2009-10 numbers) are eligible to award Pell Grants. The courses will have deadlines.
