Continuing Education Scholarships Available

Wayne Community College Continuing Education Services is currently accepting applications for scholarships for job-related training to be completed in spring 2016.

The college will award up to $750 for short-term occupational training courses that lead to state-regulated or industry-recognized credentials. The scholarships are provided by the State Employees’ Credit Union (SECU) Foundation.

The target groups for the program are unemployed and underemployed adults, members of the N.C. National Guard, and military veterans and spouses.

The scholarships are need-based but do not require completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

The scholarships may be used for registration fees, books, certification fees, and course supplies. In addition, the funds may be used for transportation, childcare, and living expenses after primary fees/costs are paid.

Students already enrolled in a qualified program as well as those preparing to enter one may apply for this scholarship.

Applications for spring 2016 are due by Sept. 30.
