Career Launch Grants
Despite tuition and fees often being covered by Pell Grants and other available state or federal aid, students still encounter financial obstacles that impede their progress towards careers with family-sustaining wages. Career Launch Grants are resources for students who need help purchasing books, tools, and equipment necessary for their classes, as well as expenses associated with licensure examinations.
