Community College & Technical Education
Four-year universities may not be for everyone. If a 4-year university is not an option right now, or if your career goal doesn’t require a bachelor’s degree and you would like to get into the job market quickly, or change careers, you can register with the Education Advantage program and apply for the Community College and Technical Scholarship to help advance your education.
Advance your life
Community colleges and technical education programs provide opportunities to learn a skill or trade to better prepare you for a rewarding job with medical insurance. Education at a 2-year community college, career college, or technical school can lead to an associate’s degree or certificate in a variety of programs like computer programming, automotive technology, nursing, health information technology, and cosmetology.1
Community colleges can also provide a strong foundation for pursuing a bachelor’s degree. Many students begin their studies at community colleges then transfer to a 4-year college or university.2 Under the Education Advantage program, you may be eligible for a scholarship after you successfully transfer to a 4-year school.
