Does anyone know if you can get more than one associates degree and still get pell grant. I am almost graduated with one associates, but want to go back and get one more. Will I still get pell-grant????? the 90 hour rule on one degree, does it start over for the second one?

A bachelors degree is out of the question, as I do not plan on going right now, since I'm not near a university, and I cannot afford it, even if I can get loans.

the other question is i took a few classes at another school but did not transfer them to the new school. can they tell? will those count against the 90 mark too?

No, you will not get a Pell Grant for a second associates degree. The federal government will only pay for one degree, certificate or diploma on each level up to a Bachelors degree with the Pell Grant. Have you considered telecommuting for your bachelors degree? Some major universities like Harvard and Pennsylvania State University offer degree programs online. I have included some links below. Some even take financial aid. Good luck!

I don't think you will be stopped from getting a pell if you have an associates already. But I know for sure the rule of 90 will still apply. It will not reset. So halfway though your second degree you'll be cut off.
I urge you not to get an additional associates. Two associates degrees does NOT equal a bachelors degree. Your earnings will not likely increase with two associates degrees vs going on to earn your bachelors. Besides, it's my experience the person with two associates degrees opts to go for their bachelors degree after all, which really screws them up because most of the 4 years worth of classes won't count, you are now under a rule of 160, and (after going to college for 4 years) you still have 2 more years worth of work to go.

What you will get is a advantages letter interior the mail telling you the way plenty economic help is offering you with, (it particularly is that in case you're frequently used, in case you're low income).. you are able to take that advantages letter to the bookshop and teach it to them on the counter. they are going to write it off, same with the admissions clerk. Then while your easily economic help verify is attainable interior the mail, it would of already deducted each little thing which you have already spent. you will probally be left with some hundred money left over which you will no longer might desire to pay lower back in any respect. it particularly is all pocket funds. it particularly is the way it particularly is often worked for me yet i'm attending community college, the colleges might value greater yet once you get the advantages letter after like 6-8 wks it would nevertheless paintings for those faculties.
