My friend is doing EC now and got a scholarship. She applied through their website. You have to fill out the financial aid form. Check their site out.

But who is going to award your degree? I can guarantee it's not The College Network ...

Gypsy, what did those TCN reps tell you? Excelsior or Indiana State has to award you a degree.

It is my understanding that TCN is a publishing company that helps you obtain your degree THRU excelsior or ISU. TCN is not a program, and can't actually award your degree. feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.

i hope you understand that the college network is a publishing company and does not award degrees...they are not a college....tcn is a very unnecessary middle man....
