Starting with 0 credits. Quickest roadmap to a degree. Any guidance?

Where do you live? Do you qualify for financial aid? Some states have better financial aid than others - if you qualify

There isn't any financial aid in any state that pays for CLEP exams.


You have 3 "financial aid" options:

1) Scholarships- TESC has a few but in general they'll only cover classes even if you win them.

2) Pell Grants- this is a "gift" grant of up to $5500 per year that you can use if your income qualifies. Again, doesn't pay for exams, but you can use it for classes.

3) Student Loans- debt



My suggestion is to pay cash. This is one of the only degree paths that makes it easy to do. You literally pay as you go.
