How tuition assistance works
Seven clear steps take you from pre-application to enrolling in class. Here's what to expect at every stage.
- Step 1
Complete the pre-application
Fill out the pre-enrollment form and request to be referred for tuition assistance via HCTI. Include your personal info and employer details.
- Step 2
Upload 2–3 recent pay stubs
Provide 2–3 current check stubs (within the past 30 days) that verify you work at least 20+ hours per week.
- Step 3
HCTI makes your referral
HCTI makes a referral on your behalf to the 3rd-party community agency partner.
- Step 4
3rd-party agency contacts you
The 3rd-party agency will contact you within 5–7 business days to start your eligibility review.
- Step 5
Meet all eligibility requirements
Meet all requirements of eligibility — including attendance of all mandatory appointments and submission of required paperwork, plus a Career Coach meeting and the Financial Empowerment course.
- Step 6
Receive approval notification
You'll receive notification by the 3rd-party agency of your tuition assistance approval.
- Step 7
Enroll in class
Once approved, enroll in your healthcare training class and begin your new career path.
Your responsibility
Tuition assistance covers 50% of your tuition. You must pay your remaining 50% — and a $150 application fee is due now, which counts toward your 50% amount.
