Financial aid

Money help is real — and closer than you think

Training funds, grants you don't repay, childcare help, and emergency support. Every resource below is real, national, and free to apply for. Stuck on any of them? We'll sit with you and work through it together.

The three-step version

  1. Visit an American Job Center

    It's the front door to WIOA training money, free career counseling, and local programs. Bring ID; ask for a WIOA eligibility appointment.

  2. 16–24? Check the youth pathways

    Job Corps, YouthBuild, and AmeriCorps pay you — with housing, stipends, or education awards — while you finish school or train.

  3. Stuck? Bring it to us

    Email our team and a navigator will help you sort eligibility, paperwork, and deadlines — for free.
