I'm thinking I may just have to go full-time one semester to get that full grant. Still need to research it. I hope it wasn't a total waste to apply for it. I'll be happy if it just covers my enrollment. I'm looking to knock out most of my stuff via ALEKS, FEMA, SL and CLEPS..in that order. I'll probably have around 45ish credits to earn my Bachelors, so that's somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 actual courses. Wish me luck
You should confirm this with TESC, but I think you'd have to go full time (12 credits) for two semesters to get the full Pell. That would be a total of 24 credits for the year. You might be better off going with the comprehensive tuition option in order to take advantage of the full Pell. You may need to get loans to supplement it either way.
