5 Random Questions [LOR, Pell, SNHU, etc]

[omicreativedev]

1) Can you attend several schools at the same time? I know you can't use Federal Financial Aid at two schools at the same time (wait, can you? lol) But could I, for instance, be in my degree program at my community college and also be taking courses at another college— either toward a degree, or not toward a degree? I remember reading in my school catalog at my community college that they recommend me taking C at Umass and transferring it BACK as an elective toward my associates. I've already emailed them to ask them how. But it got me wondering, can I do classes at multiple RA colleges in general? Or can I only be enrolled at one at a time?

2) How would recommend I go about getting letters of recommendation for stuff like programs, scholarships, schools, etc.? I mainly do online schooling and testing. And I have no prior experience in school, work, volunteering because I have no time really balancing a disability and two grade-schoolers with disabilities. Fair to say, I'm not very known at all. 

 I'm sort of like one of those (ex)wives who've been in the house with babies my entire life. Suggestions?

3) Has anyone had any success with scholarships and applying? Have you ever won any? If so, is there a strategy for it? Is there any way to learn to be better at getting funding? Any inside tips on funding alternative college stuff? For instance, right now because I have a full Pell I often get a "refund" at the end of each semester. I have used some of it to take more courses that I have to pay for. 

4) Do you know of any schools that have a Masters that you can almost 100% get with transfer credits?

5) If anyone is familiar with SNHU, how does Federal Financial Aid work with their strange term structure?


Thanks in advance
