My total tuition bill for this semester is around $2750. However my Army tuition assistance is going to pay for $1000 of it. I also get $2750 from the pell grant this semester. Heres the catch, the tuition assistance doesnt kick in until a quarter of the way through the semester. Im afraid that the pell grant will all be used to pay for all of my tuition up front and when it is time for the army to pay directly to the school for the tuition so when the tuition assistance kicks in the school will say there is no tuition to pay. So basically I wont get any of the left over pell grant and i wont get my tuition assistance. Someone please clarify for me?!
