FAQ's about our Classified Grant Program

​ ''At age 43 your agency gave me the opportunity to go back to school, become the first in my family to graduate, and pursue a career in the education field. I can't explain the joy and happiness I feel for having accomplished this. Programs like this help us eliminate financial barriers that hold us back from becoming true role models for the students we serve. "
