TESU - Questions

[bibimbopgrl98]

Hello! I hope you all are well today. I am considering going to Thomas Edison University online. I am a NJ resident, and I am also using Amazon career choice voucher, is anyone else using it too? My job gives me $5250 a year, no lifetime maximum. Will this cover me for the year at TESU with no credit transfers? How many terms do you have to do? Only looking to do 6 credits a term, 2 classes is well enough while working full time at the warehouse lol. I qualified for the Pell grant at $4601 but I don’t think I can do 12 credits(considered full time at TESU iirc), so would I be getting the less than 4601? Just trying to not go into college debt, I declined the loans. Looking to go into HR management bachelors degree by the way. Thanks!

Congratulations on starting your journey. Take advantage of the opportunity they provide. It looks like that amount will cover about 15 credits a year. So going part time should work out great. https://www.tesu.edu/corporate-partners/.../index.php

Just find a balance that works for you. I wish I got $5250 a year. I’d be done by now. I only get $1500 a year from my work, so I am going super slow.

I am sure someone more knowledgeable about TESU will come along. I just wanted to share some encouragement.

Hello, I hope everyone is doing good today. I have a few questions as I’m enrolling into TESU part time, taking 6 credits. My job gives me a $5250 voucher for college every year and it reloads every January. How many terms am I required to take at TESU? Am I allowed to take two terms until January? 
Realistically I can only pay for 2 terms until my voucher renews in January. I am taking the April 2025 term, taking two classes. I was awarded $2305 for my 2024/2025 Pell grant, but I was only awarded $700 for my 2025/2026, which sucks because I really could of used the Pell grant for the next term which would use 25/26. Thankfully my April term will use $1153 from my Pell grant, to drop my bill to $947 then my job voucher can help.  My total bill for two classes a term without aid is $2100. If I did the math right, I can take two terms and use my $5250 voucher to pay for it both.
