Opportunity
Grant - excellent education for free
We have the privilege of offering you an excellent education for
free, through the Opportunity Grant, which is given to us from the
State of Washington. The idea of this program is to: offer you
training to enter the workforce as quickly as possible, or continue
your training (if other financial aid has ended), steer you into a
career ladder that can help you be successful and self-sufficient.
The Opportunity Grant is for students enrolled in Automotive,
Phlebotomy, Visual Communication Technology, Education,
manufacturing, Accounting, and Business Technology. These programs
have short-term training available, often leading to living wage
jobs in less than a year, in fields that currently have a high
number of vacancies. Eligible students get free tuition for 45
credits, $1000.00 for books and/or tools, and financial assistance
for certain emergency situations.
