Financial Assistance

CEWD Financial Assistance

CEWD provides financial assistance opportunities for vocational training programs and courses for students who meet established eligibility criteria. 

CEWD Workforce Training programs do not qualify for federal financial aid, including Pell Grants, and are not eligible for IRS Form 1098-T tax documents. 

However, students may still qualify for certain state or institutional funding opportunities, such as the Texas Public Education Grant (TPEG). Completion of the FAFSA may be required to determine eligibility for these funding sources. Students interested in financial assistance are encouraged to review the application steps below or contact CEWD for additional guidance.

Limited funds are available for persons who qualify to assist with payment of a percentage of tuition for vocational courses. These limited funds are distributed on a first come, first serve basis for qualified applicants, and vary by course. Books are not included. This grant does not require repayment.
