Grant Information

The Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) has awarded funds to Lorain County JVS Adult Career Center to provide need-based financial aid for Lorain County JVS Adult Career Center students who are enrolled in short-term training programs.  These last-dollar grants are for programs that can be completed in less than one academic year (or fewer than 900 clock hours) and culminate in the student earning an industry-recognized credential, license, or a Lorain County JVS Adult Career Center certificate of completion. Grants may only be used to cover direct program costs, including tuition and fees, books, supplies, and tools, and other direct educational costs.  Grant funds will be applied directly to the student’s account and the awards may be up to $2,000.  
 
Eligibility:  Lorain County JVS Adult Career Center students who are enrolled in: CNC Operations & CAD/CAM Programming, Dental Assisting/Radiography, Emergency Medical Technician, Manicurists, Phlebotomy Technician, State Tested Nurse Aide and Welding/Fabrication until all funds have been exhausted.
 
Grants will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis based on student’s needs and while funding is available. Submitting an application does not guarantee you will receive a grant.  Eligibility determinations are the sole discretion of Lorain County JVS Adult Career Center; all award decisions are final.
