Kirkwood Community College Continuing Education and Training Services utilize the Gap Tuition Assistance Program to provide tuition support for eligible participants.

To be eligible, the Continuing Education program itself must offer one of the following:

• Credential or certification
• State, national, or locally recognized certificate
• Preparation for a professional exam/licensure
• Endorsement to existing credential/license

Why offer Gap Tuition Assistance?

Non-credit certificate programs are not eligible for federal financial aid. This program fills the gap in providing resources to populations that would otherwise not be able to afford training. Click here to view a list of qualifying programs.
