I'm working towards my Bachelors, and TA only covers up to 5 classes a fiscal year, where else, besides FAFSA, can I find grants?

Sir, I have just recently started speaking to my advisor again, but just figured I would get a head start and see if there is else where I can look. But thank you for the information, I will be sure to push for my university to give me all the unclaimed money I can get.

SGT Zila Winstead I will point this out. If in doubt, take the CLEP. I have 6 credits in Accounting. I know NOTHING about accounting. But, I didn't have to take an accounting class... More importantly, I didn't have to PAY for 6 credits of an accounting class.

Save your TA & more importantly your GI Bill for things that are important. If you can avoid wasting money, and TIME (a resource you cannot get back), do so. It takes 90 minutes to take a CLEP (et al). Best case scenario, you walk out with 6 credits (or 3 Upper Level). Worst Case you take the class, or it doesn't count for your degree. Costs you nothing.

Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS - I have about 2 years left in the military and I attempting to get as much done while I am still in before I begin to use my GI or 9/11 Bill. I'm hoping I only have a few classes left once I am out, that way I can use the rest for my Masters.

Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS - Even then, it might count for elective credit(s). Covered a few of mine that way.

TSgt (Join to see) SGT Zila Winstead I've mentioned it in other posts, but I have One (1), as in Singular, actual class, in a classroom in my BS. Everything else was Tested out of, or from my military experience.

I was lucky, I found a school that would take that many classes, and didn't have a residency requirement, as well as a degree program that worked with what I already had... but I made it work.

I start my MS next month, and I have almost my entire MGIB to work with (34 months), which if I time it right should cover it.

Also look into your state's education department. California looks out for Califorinians as long as you meet the criteria you know. Maybe your state does the same, that might be another avenue

Sounds like a great idea, but can you answer this, I am an Alaskan resident stationed at Fort Campbell, KY, would they assist an out-of-state resident?

SGT Zila Winstead - I wouldn't know. At first instincts, I'd probably say no but as the same time it doesn't hurt to ask.

SSG (Join to see) - Understood, I will definitely look into this, and possibly write a letter! Just kidding. :)
