WGU Tuition Discount
#1
For those interested, you can get a 5% tuition discount on your first year at WGU by signing up to be a National Education Alliance member. I signed up for free and get emails every so often. Seems legit. It isn't much of a discount but it's something!

That's something like a $300 discount. I know people that fill out forms and write long essays in the hope of scoring that kind of cash as a scholarship.

Nice find!

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.

Just wanted to chime in that I signed up for NEA yesterday. DSST/Prometric sent me an e-mail with the offer because I had recently taken the Intro. World Religions test. So all DSST takers, if interested, check your inbox for an e-mail.

They do other discounts as well. Apparently a lot of them have to do with the health care industry, so if you're interested in that field you may want to sign up as long as it's free. Also, $10 off all future DSSTs, which is why I signed up. Smile

Quoting from the email DSST sent us:

"As a past DSST test taker, you are eligible for a FREE membership to the NEA Counseling Center - that's a $100 savings!"

As one who actually completed the registration process, no request was made for a credit card, debt card, or bank account number.

I wasn't asked for a credit card either. My question is whether this free membership is only good for a year. Since their normal memberships are a year long, that's what I'm thinking. But usually you still need to give your credit card. Amazon Prime Student or Netflix come to mind. I don't know.

Maybe when I wake up from my nap I will e-mail them.

If you go to http://www.nationaleducationalliance.com...ndiSS.aspx there is a discount code that makes the membership free. After getting the free membership, you can get your code for $10 discounts on every DSST test (presumably for the next year, since they are generally one year memberships).
