Financial Aid (FAFSA or WASFA):
All Worker Retraining students are required to apply and complete a financial aid file for 2026-2027. This application covers the period from Summer Quarter 2026 through Spring Quarter 2027.
You also need to complete a Program and Enrollment Confirmation Form.
Check your ctcLink for any messages regarding your financial aid file status.
Income Recalculation for FAFSA/WASFA
Use this form if you or your family experienced a change in income since 2024. You could be eligible for an Income Recalculation.
We use this information to recalculate your eligibility for financial aid. Before we process a recalculation, you must have a completed financial aid file. In many cases students who were not originally eligible for regular financial aid become eligible after completing the Income Recalculation process.
Worker Retraining Tuition Assistance
Worker Retraining tuition and book assistance is generally available for one to two quarters. Future funding is on a case by case basis. In order to be considered, you must have a completed financial aid file (FAFSA/WASFA) for 2026-2027. You must also be following your Academic Plan on file. This is your quarter-by-quarter listing of the classes needed for your degree or certificate.
As a reminder, the Worker Retraining grant follows the same SAP Policy as the College’s Financial Aid Office.
Other Funding Resources after Worker Retraining Funding
If WR funding is not available, explore these options:
- Basic Food Employment and Training (BFET) - Assistance for individuals receiving food benefits from DSHS
- Opportunity Grant (OG) - Assistance for individuals who are income eligible and in an approved training program
- Foundation Scholarships
- WIOA
