WIA Grants for nursing

[Julz034]

How the heck do you get a hold of these people? I've looked and googled as much as possible and can't find a number. Does anyone on here know how to get a hold of them?

Also, has anyone ever recieved a WIA grant or know what you have to do to get one, and what the require?

Thanks!

Julz

Do you know of people with bachelor's degrees qualify? I know I don't qualify for pell grants because of that status so I'm looking for other routes to help pay for my education.

I'm wondering if I would qualify too. I'm 23, single, no children, independent, and made around $13,500 last year. My EFC according to the FAFSA for the 2010-2011 school year is $1,930.

Hi Julz I am wondering how you went about getting the WIA education grant through hamilton county in cincinnati ohio. I am interested in it. Please let me know! Thanks!

In Hamilton County it's superjobs.com. I used WIA money to pay for prereqs for nursing school and STNA training.

I used WIA for my LPN. They told me (9 years ago) that the wouldn't pay for me to go back to RN school.

StudentGrace? I have a few questions regarding your wia experience

I am having the worst time ever with summit county WIA. I never hear back from anyone and I am expected to go to school tomorrow. My application and everything has been processed. I applied back in July to start school Feb 7th and they are still entirely unprofessional about everything. I understand that if you start school, they will not fund you? I have not heard from my caseworker and my financial aid coordinator at the school has not heard from wia either. I am not sure whether to attend my first day tomorrow.

I applied back in July to start school Feb 7th and yet they are still entirely unprofessional about everything. I have kept up with my appointments and everything else. I scored a 19 on the wonderlit test and I was told i needed a 20! omg, what are the testing policies for other WIA counties? I understand that if you start school, they will not fund you? I have not heard from my caseworker and my financial aid coordinator at the school has not heard from wia either. I am not sure whether to attend my first day tomorrow.
