Funding & Assistance Programs
FastForward Grant (Workforce Credentials Grant):
The FastForward Grant (Workforce Credentials Grant) provides state-subsidized tuition for eligible Virginia residents enrolled in approved training programs. In many cases, the grant covers up to two-thirds of tuition.
Residency, program eligibility, and completion requirements apply. Students must complete within the scheduled timeframe to retain the subsidy. This program can significantly reduce the cost of CDL training for eligible Virginia residents, making career-focused education more accessible and affordable.
Workforce Funding (WIOA)
We are an approved vendor for Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funding administered through your local Workforce Center. You may qualify if you are a dislocated worker, unemployed, or meet income-based or other local criteria.
Workforce funding is designed to help qualifying individuals gain the skills needed to enter or re-enter the workforce through approved training programs. The eligibility for this program is determined by the Workforce Center; we’ll connect with you and help you with the next steps.
Veteran Funding (GI Bill®)
2020 CDL Training is approved by the Virginia State Approving Agency to offer GI Bill® education benefits for eligible veterans and dependents.
The eligible veterans and dependents may be able to use their earned education benefits to help cover the cost of CDL training and career development. Benefits depend on the specific GI Bill program (e.g., Post-9/11) and your remaining entitlement.
Financing Options
We can help you apply for education financing if needed. Many over-the-road carriers also offer tuition reimbursement programs to help recover your training investment, available to both financed and self-pay students.
Flexible financing solutions can help students begin training sooner while spreading educational costs over manageable payment terms. Financing approval, terms, and carrier reimbursement programs vary, with no employment contracts required through us.
Other Funding Sources
We routinely work with banks, agencies, and community programs, including College Grants, Social Services, Vocational Rehabilitation, TAP, DARS, and other private or public sources. We’ll help you build a customized financial plan, prioritizing free or low-cost options when possible.
Our team can help in identifying additional resources that may be available based on your individual circumstances, career goals, and eligibility requirements. Students may also pay out-of-pocket via cash or card.
