, PEG did post on their FB page the following explanation:
Most people focus on the statement "without a high school diploma" because it appears that students in our PEG and ECA programs are no longer eligible for Federal Financial Aid. However, the key phrase for our Early College programs is "or a recognized equivalent." Here is what the Department of Education lists: "For a student who enrolls before completing high school, a transcript indicating the student has excelled in high school. The student must no longer be enrolled in high school, must satisfy your school’s written policy for admitting such students, and must be starting a program that leads at least to an associate’s degree or its equivalent."
I don't want to be a nuisance and keep asking them for more info, but I would like to see in writing from the feds an agreement that this new regulation does not apply to early entrants.
