Are You Wondering How You Can Afford Vocational Training?
Our goal at I-TAP is to ensure that your electrical training is not just useful and practical, but cost effective as well. We work with students to identify and obtain educational grants and financing opportunities that may be available for you to take advantage of when you enroll in or complete I-TAP’s training program.
Please note: The availability of funding from outside agencies, such as those identified below, is at the discretion of those agencies. I-TAP cannot and does not guarantee approval processes that are independent of our organization. We do, however, assist students in understanding these organizations’ requirements, so that you will be more likely to be approved for funding and/or grants.
