Workforce Education provides services to low-income or unemployed people to help them achieve their academic and career goals. We provide funding for tuition, fees, and potentially other costs like books and transportation for eligible students in approved programs of study.
To see if you might qualify, review our Do I Qualify for Workforce Education? [PDF] flyer, take a survey at StartNextQuarter.org, or learn about a specific program’s eligibility guidelines at the links below:

Step 3: Submit forms
Fill out two forms: WE Intake Eligibility Application [PDF] and WE Individual Employment Plan [PDF].

You can complete and sign the forms electronically, or print and scan them.
Submit BOTH forms to workforce-ed@bellevuecollege.edu. If the “Submit” button on the forms doesn’t work, attach your completed files to an email or upload them using our Upload Documents page. If you have any problems completing or sending the forms, please contact us for help.
Step 4: Meet with an advisor
If we determine that you qualify, we will contact you to schedule an intake appointment with a Workforce Education advisor. Intake appointments may be in-person or virtual (Zoom or Microsoft Teams).
Read about how to prepare for the appointment. Depending on your funding program, supporting documentation may be required to confirm your eligibility.
If you don’t qualify or we need more information to determine your status, we will contact you to follow up.
