External Funding Options

Workforce Development Programs: Some government and local workforce programs offer financial support for vocational education. These programs may cover a portion of your tuition if you meet specific eligibility criteria.

Community Resources: We recommend checking with local organizations, such as career centers, non-profits, or workforce development agencies, that may offer financial assistance or low-interest loans for vocational students.
