  • Money for housing (if you’re in school more than half time). We’ll base your monthly housing allowance on the cost of living where your school is located.
  • Money for books and supplies. You can receive up to $1,000 per school year.

WIOA

Are you unemployed or underemployed and seeking a career in Information Technology? The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) offers tuition assistance to those who qualify.

Who may be eligible?

WIOA is a federally funded employment and training program. This law gives workers the chance to get the technology skills needed to compete by helping those who have been laid off, are changing career paths, or are seeking to improve their skills to secure a new job. Depending on your situation, there are different scholarships and financial aid options available for those who qualify.

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) provides job training benefits for adults, dislocated workers and youth to help gain skills necessary to obtain and maintain employment. To qualify, you must be approved by your local workforce development agency.

TAA - The Trade Adjustment Assistance program

The Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program was designed to help workers who have lost their previous job due to foreign outsourcing.

The TAA program seeks to provide these trade-affected workers with opportunities to obtain the skills, resources, and support they need to become reemployed. The program benefits and services that are available to individual workers are administered by the states through agreements between the Secretary of Labor and each state Governor.

To use this funding, you must be approved by the local workforce development agency.
