They should, I attended a private school and got a grant.

Every state is different. My state does not give grants to students attending private schools. We can still receive federal grants, but not state grants. Some states have taken the extra step of making Western Governors University eligible for state grants, but other private schools are still ineligible.

I am within 30 minutes of Excelsior, which I could see helping if there were any issues. Overall it seemed like a wash between the 3, so i just defaulted to Excelsior.

If you have another recommendation for me, I am all ears.

Thanks a bunch.

It would depend on which school gives the most favorable evaluation, but my first choice would be COSC based on their direct acceptance of FEMAs. This can save a lot of money. However, some people would be bothered by having a bachelor's in general studies with a concentration in business administration. My second choice would be TESC just because of the lack of a true capstone (you can test out of Strategic Management or take it at Penn Foster), and the Per Credit Tuition Plan. I also hear conflicting information about Excelsior's Information Literacy requirement. I've heard they no longer accept the Penn Foster course. It's a short, easy course at Excelsior, but that's still $465 (after July 1st) for a stupid course.

I've been checking them out, thanks.

I found the list of FEMAs they will accept through the search function, but am having no luck figuring out how many they will accept for credit, can anyone help me out with this?

[COLOR="#FF0000"]Edit: Also, i understand that FEMAs only count towards free electives. Is there any chance I would already have my free electives full (I outlined my current credits in my original post)?
Thanks again for all the help everyone, I'm learning a lot.[/COLOR]

I didn't even submit my FEMA stuff, As far as I can recall you have to have them "washed" through a Community College in Maryland (Fredricksburg I think) which costs about $75 per credit hour to go on you EC transcript.
Don't forget that gaining college credit by taking exams is one of the reason's we're here. That's mainly possible through the flashcards made available by the owner of this forum : InstantCert Plus of course your hard work in learning and reviewing

My question was in response to sanantone suggesting that I look into COSC, who I believe take FEMA for no charge.

AH ok! Did you source any information regarding a grant available for NY residents at Excelsior?

I did browse the Financial Aid section of the website. It seems that as a student, you can apply for and receive grants similar to the other schools in the state. They have a very informational website Excelsior College | Excelsior College Financial Aid Interactive Tutorial

That depends on your particular degree. Each degree plan has core requirements which change depending on the discipline. Your Social sciences can't be filled by business classes (from the advisor online just now) If you have $85 go ahead and get the initial evaluation done and see where they place your current credits then you'll have a better idea.
