How Funding Works
Many of our training programs may be available at no cost to eligible participants through federal and state funding.
Four Steps to Funded Training
Check Eligibility
Complete the preliminary intake and, when applicable, attend the responsible agency's orientation. The agency—not Elevate—determines funding eligibility.
Get Approved
Complete the application and agency process. Do not treat training as funded until the responsible source identifies the approved program, covered costs, and written authorization.
Start Training
Enroll under the payment path documented for your program. When an agency authorizes funding, the written authorization controls the approved amount and covered costs.
Earn & Get Hired
Complete your program, earn your certification, and connect with employer partners through our career services team.
Available Funding Sources
Eligibility varies by program and individual circumstances. Our enrollment team will help identify the right funding path for you.
WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act)
Federal funding administered through local WorkOne offices. May authorize allowable training or supportive-service costs for eligible participants; the workforce agency determines what is covered.
DOL Registered Apprenticeship
Earn while you learn through Department of Labor registered apprenticeship programs. Employer-sponsored with structured on-the-job training.
State Grant Programs
Indiana workforce programs may apply only to specific approved programs and eligible participants; current registry evidence controls public labels.
Job Ready Indy
Funding for justice-involved individuals re-entering the workforce. Covers training, certifications, and supportive services.
Important
Funding availability depends on eligibility determination, program availability, and current funding levels. Not all applicants will qualify for every funding source.Elevate for Humanity does not guarantee funding approval. All eligibility determinations are made by the appropriate funding agency.

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.
