Can Federal Pell Grants be used for online colleges?
Question:
Answer:
Many community colleges and universities offer classes on-line which would qualify for Pell grant. I would be leery of an on-line school simply because most of them are "For Profit" organizations. You should be aware that their are many accrediting agencies. This can be confusing and downright deceitful. To verify a school's accreditation, before you enroll, contact the nearest public university's transfer services office and ask if the university accepts credits transferred from the college you are considering attending. If they tell you they will, it could easily be a go. If they won't, you should not consider taking classes at that school. It is important to remember that in a proprietary school, the #1 priority is to get the tuition money. Also, you never know what the future holds. It is critical to your continuing education prospects that you attend a reputable college.
