LoriM Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Dual enrollment in NC is free (tuition) so high school students don't need financial aid. However, the financial aid program at our CC is great, and easily navigated. They hold quarterly seminars for parents and students on the financial aid process, and they have great staff who will walk you right through it. I would suggest you go to the CC in question, walk in the financial aid office, and get started. Make friends (get names) and ask questions. It sounds scarier than it is.

Quiver0f10 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 In ME and AR you can't get financial aid for dual enrollment and only can qualify once they graduate highschool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 My teen took quite a few classes at the community college this year solely on our dime as there is no state paid dual enrollment where we live. At the end of the year, we received a tax document showing us what we might claim. On investigation, I learned that we could only claim that money if our daughter had graduated high school. Since it is our intent that she use her cc classes as part of her high school studies and since we'd like her to enter a four year college as a freshman, we are not able to claim the tax benefit.

Carol in Cal. Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 However, they must still pay for books and lab fees, which can really add up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
