No, that is not true.  If you are an Arizona resident attending an Arizona college, you don't get a free ride on tuition.\n\nThere are many programs available to highly subsidize the cost of your attendance depending on your situation (e.g. part of a Native American tribe, income needs, etc.).  Of course, there's always the path to take loans out as well.\n\nGenerally, the best value for your education dollar is to take as many classes as possible at the community college level.  Arizona has a robust community college system.  Mesa Community College is the first or second largest community college in the country and Rio Salado Community College and Gateway Community College offer a significant amount of their curriculum online.\n\nBy the way, if you or any of your immediate family members work at any of the community colleges, you can attend classes virtually for free (you pay only a $5 enrollment fee).  If you or any of your immediate family members work at the university level as staff or faculty, you also get your tuition highly subsidized (maybe free), but I think you still need to pay enrollment fees, student government/use fees, etc.

I don't think there are any online courses. You know if you want to save 10 months of school and $9000 dollars (that's what it is in Arizona anyway), you can just study some pharmacy technician books and take the National Certification Test on your own. If you pass you'll become a certified pharmacy technician (CPhT). That's what I did. I was 18, had no money, so I studied all one summer and took the test (which was three hours long!) and passed. Just thought I'd let you know, save you some time and money. Go to this website to register.

You just have to move there and set up a residency.  Sometimes they will just want to see a local drivers license and some bills in your name at your address.  You do not have to be a resident to attend college in any state (including Community Colleges), but it is a LOT cheaper if you are a resident of the state or county.  Check the admissions and financial aid requirements, because some colleges due require a minimal amount of time in the state before you are eligible for in-state tuition.

University of Phoenix is one.  Also a lot of big name schools are now offering online programs.   Some of the legitimate schools also offer programs that allow you to get credit for some of your life experience which can shorten the time to a degree and save you some money.  (NONE of the legitimate schools will let you write off a majority of your degree...one sign it is a real school).\n\nYou may find a selection of them on websites designed to help prospective students pick a college, like www.princetonreview.com or www.directoryofonlineschools.com\n\nGood luck.

University of Phoenix allows you credits for life skills that you have gotten from work/experience.  The only thing is you have to pay for them to verify all the info you give them, but you do get it credited.  I think it is like $150.

California did have free tuition.  Not many people realized that, this ended, what, about ten years ago maybe more.  I think Texas still offers free tuition, its residents, unless they have ended that program as well.  I say look it up on the states' website.\n\nIf you are veteran, there are a few states that waive tuition cost.  Check the military.com website

most places require you to take the college course before you can be hired or they require at least one year of prior experience.\n\ni live in tempe but work at good sam hospital in phoenix.\n\nmost of the schools here in az provide financial assistance-look into the pell grant program-it's government money that is provided to you to pay your tuition and you DO NOT have to pay it back. Mesa Community College should have this program and they offer the cna course. Gateway Community college is another one that has the cna course. Call either one and ask to speak to an advisor about how to apply for the grant.

In general, I always recommend that people look at online degree programs from schools that have a strong reputation offline - their brick-and-mortar college has a good rep, so thus their distance learning program is often also respected. So, rather than U Phoenix, I'd also suggest that you check first with your local colleges, especially your state colleges. If you can go online to a state college as an instate student, you get the instate tuition rate - which is often a HUGE discount. If nothing in state appeals to you, then check for reputable colleges that also offer online/distance learning programs. \n\nSome reputable colleges that offer distance degrees, off the top of my head:\n\nRensellaer Polytechnic Institute\nUniversity of Massachusetts, Amherst\nUniversity of Maryland\nWorcester Polytechnic Institute\nThe New School for Social Research\nCarnegie Mellon\nUniversity of Denver

I have a neighbor doing that right now through Un. of Phoenix.  First, she's paying over $200 per credit which is no cheaper than the local community college's online program, so I think she made a mistake.  What I read online is that the CEO has just resigned in March I believe it was.  I've also read on boards that there is question on the "certification" of the professors involved, not all check content regularly, and some may have faked their credentials and the university never really checked.  I've also read that they grade too fairly passing students who should otherwise be failing.\n\nAnother issue I've heard is that many businesses are not considering degrees through these online degree programs as legit because of the questions of passing failing students and teachers without credentials.\n\nI'd check local community colleges first.

Did you go to FAFSA? Your best bet is to go to the guidance dept. of your local college or high school. If you are not a student or recent grad...Go to your local library. the librarians are awesome with this kind of stuff. They found a way for me to get my education for FREE!!! make sure you treat them with respect and be polite, they will bend over backwards to help you if you treat them right.

This is a really expensive way to go and you are right to be concerned if employers would question your education.  Before signing up, look to local and state colleges.  Many now offer satellite courses and on-line classes.  You can still earn your degree with convenience and probably even save some money over Unv. of Phoenix.
