Free TECEP® Exams Available Now (?) - doom - 08-02-2023
Has anyone received this?
Thomas Edison State University has received a grant from the Office of the Secretary of Higher Education in New Jersey to offer scholarships for all New Jersey post-secondary students to engage in Prior Learning Assessment through TESU’s TECEP® - Thomas Edison Credit by Exam Program.
There is more than $175,000 in scholarship money available for students attending any New Jersey College or University to leverage TECEP® Exams toward accelerating their degree completion pursuits.
TECEP® exams are similar to final exams for college courses. Most have multiple-choice questions and some have short-answer or essay questions. They are graded on a Credit/No Credit basis and, by passing, you receive college credit.
This scholarship will fully fund the cost of up to 5 TECEP® exams per person.
To learn more, please visit TESU’s TECEP® website. This resource provides more information on the scholarship opportunity as well as directions on how you apply.
Should you have any questions, please email admissions@tesu.edu

I got that exact email and you beat me to posting about it. I couldn't find more info on applying to this TECEP scholarship, though. If anyone has more info for the free TECEP exams, I'd appreciate it as they could be a backup plan for me just in case.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that this doesn't apply if you're not living in NJ.

Never mind, I didn't pay attention to wording of the email. I guess it won't work for me.

That is amazing.

If it's free, I think I might as well give the dreaded Networking Technology TECEP a shot... I'll give it a think and figure out what else I wanna take.
Anyone else going to load up?

I also wanted to do the Network Technology TECEP along with Comparative Politics and College Algebra (Algebra should be easy for me, anyway, since I already did Calculus and I need it for the ASNSM in Math). In any case, I'll see what I can pass.
