NJ got it.
Put another way, lets say you receive a full PELL grant of around $5900/yr. You then enroll fully online at an inexpensive school like NMJC. 12+ hours at NMJC += about $1200 by going full time (12 hours per semester) that student receives half of their grant $2950 for that semester. The school will take theirs and send the rest to the student. In this case a check for around $1750. Any loans would come on top of that. In some cases it can pay to go to school. Remember that the concept behind the grants is to facilitate going to school. Things like child care, gas, living expenses are considered legitimate expenses and you have some of those expenses even if your fully online.
So yes, your friend is likely telling the truth.

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.
