FAQs:

Can I apply for multiple grants? Yes! We recommend you apply for as many grants as are relevant to you. You can combine them together with your personal savings or a personal loan towards tuition for the program.

I don’t have any savings, I will just be using grants to pay for the tuition. Does that work? Keep in mind that you are not guaranteed to receive the grants. You should also consider alternative methods of making payments such as personal savings or personal loans.

I found a different grant, but I am not sure if it is right for me or this course. Can you help me? Absolutely! Email us with a link to the grant and your questions. We will be happy to advise you. Email: admissions@made-institute.com

I am not sure if WORC is right for me. Should I apply? Yes, you should apply for the grants at the same time as applying for the program. If you have any questions please email: admissions@made-institute.com

Should I wait till I am accepted into the program to apply for grants? No. Applying for grants takes time, and you. may not get confirmation for a little while. So it is always best to apply as early as possible.

If I have completed an applicable course already, for example Sewing 1 in Center City, does the financial credit come off the first tuition payment?

Yes, we deduct the price you paid from your first tuition payment.

I am a New Jersey resident, what options do you have for me?

You should contact the Department of Labor & Workforce Development and if applicable the New Jersey Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services
