No, because you can only use the Pell grant at a school that you're enrolled at least half-time at. Like someone said above, TESU costs so much per credit that the grant won't even pay for the courses. There's nothing left to go toward the waiver. So the answer is no, not directly.
As dfrecore was saying, which can be difficult to grasp at first, you can go the indirect route which involves a community college. The indirect route requires using the grant at the cheapest school you can find, which will be a community college. You have to take their classes just to get the Pell grant. Since they are a cheap school, you then get a check mailed to you for the difference between the grant and the tuition/fees. Then you can save this and spend it toward your TESU waiver. How much you will have leftover depends on how cheap you can get those classes for, which can depend on where you live.
