Workforce Education Funding

You could also qualify for tuition assistance through Workforce Education funding. Workforce Education provides financial support for students who are receiving (or have exhausted) unemployment benefits, are low-income, or are receiving TANF or SNAP benefits.

Start by taking the survey at www.startnextquarter.org to see if you prequalify for funding. If you prequalify for funding you will be notified of the next steps you need to take to receive Workforce Education funding. Students who do not qualify for Workforce Education funding may be eligible for other financial aid programs.
