Paying for TEC or Big 3

Jennifer love the answer great stuff and some good ideas. I agree with you I have FAFSA but used 100% taking 4 classes the first quarter trying to get it done ASAP. I also got a job via FAFSA as a work study at the college I am attending its only 9.00 HR but its not counted towards future earnings when applying for grants again I found out. I am limited to 20 hours max as per FAFSA guidelines so I do well in school also. The college I am attending has several of these kinds of P/T jobs but they rarely advertise it you just have to ask the Financial Aid office.
You gave me some fresh inspiration though thanks

Ok, so now I understand your story a little better. You should use your FA to take your classes that you CAN'T test out of. In other words, a specific law class instead of Sociology 101 if that makes sense. In AAS degrees, there are often only a handful of classes that you can test out of, so be sure not to enroll in those or you'll miss that opportunity.
