If your cash flow is going to be tight (or worse) with a TA repayment event, I would take both the student loans and the TA. As the TA repayment terms expire, pay the student loans down. I don't consider this the same as indentured slavery since you will keep the matching funds in an off-limit savings account in case of a repayment event.
Not entirely without risk, but this thought crossed my mind as well.

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this).  Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.
