Pell grant and employer paid tuition?

Question

can I use pell grants as my monthly indirect education expenses if my employer pays for college classes? I'm a single mother of two and can't work full time and go to school full time. My employer payes a percentage of costs, so I want to know if I can use a larger portion of the Pell grant as living expenses.

Answer 1

Yes. If your employer will pay for your tuition before classes start.  Most employers programs set it up to where you get reimbursed for after the fact (and usually after you have paid), when you turn in a copy of your grades.  Also check to make sure you will still be eligible for tuition assistance if you drop to part time.
