Financing

If the tuition is an issue, then we invite you to look for financial aid. Here are a few common resources to finance your training: If you are a US veteran, the Veterans Administration is often able to help with funding. If you work with Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) or receive services from Texas Workforce Solutions (TWS), they might be able to assist as well. You may also apply for a training voucher from PeerForce.org, which supports all the Peer Support training sites in Texas. If you are unable to receive support from the organizations above you might be eligible for a scholarship from the Connection Center. Please understand that scholarships from the Connection Center are NOT guaranteed and are limited.
