External Scholarships & Resources

Independent organizations may offer scholarships or support resources to eligible students. Each sponsor sets its own rules, deadlines, award amounts, eligible schools and programs, covered expenses, and payment process.

No TEK2KAREER scholarship pathway is confirmed on this page. Before applying, ask the sponsor in writing whether its award may be used for your specific TEK2KAREER program. TEK2KAREER is a state-authorized, non-accredited, non-degree-granting proprietary school and does not participate in federal Title IV student aid.
