Training Network
Many people believe that can’t afford to enroll in the type of training program that many jobs – and most careers – require. At Job4Americans, we can help you find ways to pay for the education you need so that you can do what you want to do.
In general, there are three types of funding that you can utilize to pay for your education:
Grants
Educational grants are generally need-based – and do not have to be repaid as long as you complete the semester for which you received funding. Sources for such grants include the following:
Federal government (Pell Grants; Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants; Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher-Education (TEACH) Grants; and Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants)
- State government (Most states offer some type of educational assistance for their residents but some have a minimum residency requirement))
- Schools and Training Centers (Many schools and training centers offer partial-tuition grants to their students)
- Non-Profit Organizations (Thousands of organizations offer partial-tuition or full- tuition grants, many of which have specific requirements)
Scholarships
Educational scholarships are generally merit-based – and do not have to be repaid. Sources for such scholarships include the following:
- Federal government
- State government
- Schools and Training Center
- Non-Profit Organizations
Student Loans
Student loans, by definition, have to be repaid at some point in time – but generally not while you’re attending school (Note: Depending on the student’s financial status, these may be subsidized or non-subsidized). Sources for such loans include the following:
- Federal government (William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program – and the Federal Perkins Loan Program)
- State government (Many states offer student loan programs that are among the most accessible and affordable)
- Lending Companies (There are many companies that offer loans to students and/or their parents)
Job4Americans has extensive experience in helping students identify ways to finance their education. And, best of all, we can help you get through all the paperwork quickly and smoothly.
