I just picked this thread up. I'm happy to help if I can. I used financial aid for all of my time at TESC. Yes, you need to take 6 credits per quarter, and also you need to remember that you get everything in 1/4 distributions.
Also, the PELL grant is a gift, everything else is a loan- so TESC doesn't "give" you anything, they have very few scholarships. I applied and didn't get any, but it's worth a try.
TESC will allow you the pell if you qualify, which I think is roughly $5000, then your first student loan is roughly $5000, and so is the second. I'll defer my comments about the wisdom of taking out student loans to Dave Ramsey lol.
