I found out yesterday that I received a $1300 scholarship from EC!:D Now I can finally apply for my cpne! The only problem is my disbursement date is not until September 23rd.!

Has anyone else received these before?Can the money be released before that date.I have been eligable for the cpne since July 21st. I really want to apply asap and don't want to have to wait almost 2 months:bluecry1:! Thanks in advance!

Wonderful news about the scholarship! If I were you I would get on the CPNE payment plan. You have to pay a down payment of $600(You gotta pay that anyway) and it will get you on the list. Then when your scholarship comes in, pay the rest with your scholarship money.

I was under the impression that if you are waiting on your CPNE date, that you can have the annual fee waived until you graduate. Call EC to get clarification on it all.

I just called,I still have to 2 gen eds to complete,and info lit.So now I can't have it waived unless I complete all 10 credits and apply for the cpne before Sept.25.

Not going to happen!LOL

It is just frustrating because my poor hubby has been working 7 days a week and I just want to get done so he doesn't have to work so hard!

i was coming here to ask this very question... i got my annual service fee statement and called ec. the bursar acted like it was no big deal "yeah your waiting on a cpne date so ill send you to the voice mail where you can leave a message so they can defer the cost"...so that is what i did... however, the voice mail says you have to have a date and a letter from your adviser before they will defer the cost...so i still left my info and will we see...
