Step 1: Review ways to qualify
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?” flyer, take a brief survey at StartNextQuarter.org, or learn about a specific program and its eligibility guidelines at the links below:

Step 2: Attend an online information session
Attend an online information session. Please do not skip this, as it covers important information and answers frequently asked questions. There are two options:
- Option #1: Register for a live Zoom information session. Live sessions are offered weekly on Tuesdays at 2:30pm. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with information about how to join the meeting.
OR
- Option #2: Download the online information session as a PowerPoint presentation. To hear the recorded audio, click the ‘Slide Show’ tab and then click ‘From Beginning’; or click the “speaker” symbol on each slide. An audio transcript is available for download as a Word document: Transcript – WE Online Info Session
Step 3: Submit forms
Fill out two forms: WE Intake Eligibility Application and WE Individual Employment Plan.
- TIP #1: Download the forms and save to your computer. Then open the documents in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. (Need help filling and signing the forms? View a tip sheet or video tutorial.)
- TIP #2: On the Eligibility Application, leave the Social Security Number field blank for now.
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. Options for appointments include phone, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or in-person.
If we determine that you do not qualify, we will still contact you to follow up about your status.
