Tuition and funding facts
How do I pay for apprenticeship training?
Apprenticeship programs are self-pay only. Review the published total tuition, deposit, supplies, and what is due now. Pay in full or use a program payment plan when offered. BNPL, when displayed, is third-party financing requiring provider approval and repayment; review interest and terms. It is not a grant.
Compare apprenticeship programs →Is funding available for every career program?
No. Workforce funding is specific to the evidenced program and the applicant. The responsible agency determines eligibility and written authorization before funded enrollment.
Review program-specific funding →Does applying guarantee approval?
An application is a request for review. It does not guarantee funding, enrollment, placement or employment.
