UMPI WGU and Pell Grant

[bjcheung77]

Exactly what I was thinking, I like brain storming options... however, you're reading my post differently than I stated... You need to get permission from both schools by applying and inquiring about their regulations and rules. The financial aid is for undergraduate studies and the 3-4 classes that can go towards the MAOL. Your tuition assistance or reimbursement is for the remainder of the MAOL and the next year for WGU Masters.

If you play the cards correctly, this is what you'll end up with... UMPI BAS with a minor with 3-4 classes that can go towards the MAOL, you add a second minor but don't finish this off. It's a critical step, you can't graduate until you finish all requirements, when WGU studies is complete, you tell UMPI you don't want to finish the second minor and graduate at the same time. You're not wanting to get the second minor because life happens!

To get the max benefits, you need to know how well you do your work (time management) and the max transfer of credit. If you filled in the addendum and template, you would get a more accurate and concise answer. So pretend you can finish the residency credits in 1 session for $1700, or 2 for $3400. You put UMPI on hold and skip the second minor - thus, not graduate yet.

WGU, you finish all certs and term with them to complete the requirements of the accelerated BS/MS combo, you pay for the first part of the Bachelors with the fin aid, you want to make sure you've transferred all the Sohpia.org, Study.com, whatever you can towards the degree first. When the first portion of the degree is complete, you'll need to do the Masters part.

Complete the UMPI MAOL with your tuition assistance, you should be able to complete this in 1 session of $2300 or two for $4600. When the next comes, you can do the MS at WGU for the $5K/term to finish off your studies - this can be done in the reverse order, it depends all on you. I think the MAOL first would be faster as you can get that in 4 months or 2 sessions...
