Financial aid and other resources to help you pay for your education
College of Continuing Education students often juggle multiple roles involving work, family, community, and other responsibilities outside the classroom. While they have the drive, talent, and desire to succeed, their financial situation can hold them back. College scholarships and grants fund more than 200 students a year. Other financial resources may include loans, employer tuition benefits, federal education tax credits and deductions, credit card payment, and other options if applicable to the course and to your individual situation such as Veteran's Administration and National Guard benefits, Department of Vocational Rehabilitation funds, and Dislocated Worker Programs funds.
