TESU grants, scholarships award - Umm Abdullah - 06-26-2024
Hello. I am new here and would like to ask for some advice regarding the following issue. I got admitted to TESU and received a go-Tesu award. At the same time I received the Pell grant $11,000 which is streched to 3 semesters. Which one is better to choose? What are the prons and cons of going with one of the choices or both of them?

The amount of the GO-TESU award that you'll be eligible for is determined by your student aid index and the number of credits you register for. You can find more info about it here: https://www.tesu.edu/tuition/go-tesu

@Umm Abdullah, Great initial post to get the ball rolling and starting the process of your educational journey. Please provide as short and simple yet complete and concise answers to the addendum and template, this is to provide us an overall picture of your scenario. The more we know about your situation and what you're looking for as an end goal, the more we can help you with determining your degree plan. My suggestion so far is to use both of them to max your credits... Link: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-New-to-DegreeForum-How-this-Area-works

Okay, thank you for the help offered. I applied for a bachelor of arts in math and what I am aiming for is to complete the whole degree in two semesters through some previous foreigncredits I have, ACE credits and TESU credits. It shows that Pell grant covers the 3 following semesters and I also qualify for go-Tesu for this semester(but I don't know exactly how much). I also got two free TECEP exams.TESU recognized 32 of my foreign credits. I would like to know what would be best for me, to get in this semester 12 credits or less than that. I think I can manage the load but just don't know exactly how these awards would be affected by this. I would also like to know if there is any possibility of getting a double degree or major. The following courses were accepted by TESU and recognized as:ECO-1000Basic Economics; 2-Phy-1110, 3-MAT-1999 Special topics in math 4-College Algebra 5-Technical mathematics- 6-MAT-2999 Special topics in math 7-ELT-1030 Intro to Electricity 8-OFC-1999 Special topics Oth Foreign Lng. If there is any thing I am not aware of, please let me know.

Great update, but as again, that's not enough info, you're providing bits and pieces of the puzzle and not giving the entire thing. Thus, anyone reading this would not be able to assist you further until you tell us the entire contents of what was transferred and what's remaining, etc. Furthermore, you need to fill in the entire addendum plus template as I mentioned earlier, I would like the entire picture, not a part of it to properly provide you a 'better' and more concrete answer. If you want a simple sentence answer, then... You're out of luck...

The max Pell Grant per year is $7395.
They are both free, so you choose which pays the most.
