Financial Aid

[NAP]

NAP- I signed up for Common Knowledge, and I emailed them asking if the scholarships applied for CLEP tests separate from college tuition. They said they weren't sure, but they didn't think so. Have you used them for CLEP costs or do you know anyone who has used them for that? I am not enrolled in a college, so I want to know if I can use it before I spend time taking quizzes. Really appreciate the help!!

I just found the site last month. From reading the rules and FAQs on the website, it looks like they want to send the money to a college, so that won't help with CLEP. They will give you up to one year after you graduate from high school to claim the scholarship you won. If you think you will be enrolling in college by then and will have enrollment/course/graduation expenses, I would expect those to be applicable for the scholarship money.

The quizzes can take quite a bit of prep time, so it will be important to decide if the chance of winning is worth the effort.
