The maximum Pell grant for 2018-2019 is $6,095, but you’ll get less money of you drop from full-time status to part-time status. If you drop below half-time status, you will need to start repaying your loans. Failure to maintain at least a ‘C’ average and complete a minimum number of credits could jeopardize your financial aid. When your employer agrees to reimburse you for college courses, your reimbursement varies dependent on whether you get an A, B, or C. Furthermore, many companies may not reimburse your tuition unless you receive an ‘A’ or ‘B’ letter grade. Be diligent about getting the best grades, tutors etc. to reach your educational goals. Unless you do so you may pay financially and limit your ability to get promotions or a higher salaries. Education matters and future employers may request your colleges transcripts in filling new positions. In every case, you want to be able to show your best side or have an honest reason for not being able to do so.
