Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is your first step in applying for any kind of aid, including scholarships and work-study positions.
Workforce and Continuing Education
If you register for one of our short-term Workforce and Continuing Education (WCE) programs, you’ll pay one set fee per course (amount varies by program), with books often included.
WCE programs aren’t eligible for financial aid. However, you’ve got other funding options, including state and local grants and tuition reimbursement.
