Financial Aid for Certifications??

bobdavis84

Hey everyone! Does anyone know of a program or Certification that I would be able to pay for using Federal Student Aid? I am not sure which cert would be best yet, but am looking to take a class very soon towards a certification. I need the company to qualify for student loans, like a community college would if I were to take general education classes.

Thank you in advance for any info.

Check the community/technical colleges in your area. A lot of them around here offer IT courses.

My community college just offers discounts on vouchers, pretty good discounts though. I believe 80 dollars off or so depending on the cert. Your school probably offers discounted software or even free software.

Look for community colleges that offer Cisco (CCNA/CCSP/CCNP) and Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC) classes. You can take these classes using financial aid and get the educational discount on vouchers through the school and software from places like www.academicsuperstore.com. If you need to buy a lot of software, it's worth enrolling in one community college class just to get the discount.

I believe the certs offered through WGU are included in the tuition. That would fit what you are looking for.
