How much does Per Scholas cost?
Per Scholas immersive career training is offered at no cost to eligible learners through the support of our funders and employer partners. While tuition is covered, you'll still want to plan for personal expenses such as transportation, childcare, or living costs during training. Learn more on our Financial Resources page.
What is the admissions process?
The admissions process is designed to help ensure you're prepared for success. After applying, you'll complete each required step – including an admissions assessment, interview, eligibility verification, and any required Tech Prep Work – before receiving your enrollment decision.
Do you offer online courses?
Yes. Depending on the program and location, Per Scholas offers remote, in-person, and hybrid training options. Regardless of the format, all classes are live, instructor-led, and include attendance requirements.
Each course page identifies whether training is offered remotely, in person, or in a hybrid format. For remote programs offered through a local Per Scholas campus, you must still live within that campus's eligible service area.
