Financial Aid may be available to assist active apprentices with the costs associated with their apprenticeship program. Some examples of these costs are things like tuition, fees, supplies, food, housing, and transportation to and from your related supplemental instruction classroom.
There are several types of financial aid that an apprentice may be eligible for depending on their circumstances.
The Washington College Grant for Apprentices (WCG-A) is a grant that is designed for the apprenticeship community to assist apprentices with obstacles they may face on their path to Journey Level Certification.
This grant is easy to apply for, and AJAC’s Financial Aid staff members are available to assist you in every step of the process. In less than 2 years, AJAC apprentices have been approved for over $250,000 in WCG-A Funding – make sure you don’t miss out! Eligible apprentices could receive up to $4,466 ($1,488 per quarter) in grant funding during the 2022/23 year!
The 2022/2023 application is now available:
First Time grant recipients will also need to submit a Directive Form (if you have received the WCG-A in previous years this form is not needed).
If you have questions about the application process, please contact AJAC’s Financial Aid Office below.

Several of our partner colleges offer emergency grant funding if you find yourself in serious needs for things like food, housing, bills, vehicle repairs, or other emergency issues.
Each college has different guidelines on how to receive these funds and/or who is eligible for them, but if you find yourself in need, we strongly encourage you to submit an application and try to get the funding needed to keep emergency impediments from derailing your pursuit.
