Worksource

Since you and I both live in Florida and I've been approved for WIA (Workforce Investment Act) assistance, let me give you this website to find out more info as I cannot precisely answer your question concerning the Pell Grant due to the fact that we have varying economic/financial circumstances: http://www.worksourcefl.com. This assistance is kind of like a grant in that it pays for tuition, fees, physical, titers/immunizations, gas for your car, even the NCLEX exam fees. However, I don't think this assistance includes childcare, food and shelter, and the like. You can also go to your school career center or community job resource center and ask to speak to a counselor that can help you. Just remember that the end of the program year here in FL is the end of June. So if you don't have all the funds for school and are looking to get this assistance in time for school this fall, I'd hurry! Hope this helps you. Post when you get an answer as I am interested what steps other people had to take to get in this program.

Hi I'm in florida two and I probaly won't get to enter the program this go around but hopefully next term I'm just curious about how u went about getting your wia grant and can u apply at any work soure I have one located in my school so that would be very convient to me. I feel like 2 much time is slipping away and I need to have a plan finacially because right now I am completely lossed its a shame I know but any info would be appreciated.

Worksource paid my LVN school directly. Upon admission I did a FAFSA and got $4200, but could not get this money till WS made a payment to the school, halfway through. Come to find out when it came that time WS sent thier payment to the school less my $4200. So for the 2nd half of school I did not do a FAFSA because I would not have gotten anything out of that either all it did was lessen the amount that WS paid to the school. This is in Ca. so not sure about Fl. I qualified because I was on unemployment D/T a massive layoff and had to be pre-qualified for it.

Hello, what LVN school did you end up going to that worksource paid for? please let me know...thanks! I'm in california too
