Need Financial Aid for Workforce Development Classes?

GEER (Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Scholarship)

The Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Scholarship (GEER) fund provides up to $750. If the cost is under $750, eligible students may still receive $750 and may use the excess funds as additional support while taking the course. 

  • Students can receive the scholarship multiple times if they enroll in different programs.  
  • Scholarship recipients remain eligible to receive other grants and scholarships listed on the Financial Aid for Continuing Education web page. Stack these funds to get the maximum benefit!
  • The scholarship can be used to help cover the cost of tuition, books & supplies.

In order to qualify for the GEER scholarship, students must meet the following criteria:

  • Be a current North Carolina Resident;
  • Currently enrolled (or planning to enroll) in one of the approved programs.
    • Course must be at least 96 hours
    • Course must lead to an industry recognized credential
  • Students must comply with the attendance policy of the program/course.
  • Students may receive funding for multiple programs; however, they may only apply for one program at a time. Additional scholarships will not be granted without successful completion of previous programs that used the GEER grant.
