Financial Assistance

Express Training Services may offer financial assistance other than the scholarships listed on the web site. However, we have also had prior students who have been funded by outside agencies. We’ve listed some of them below. There is no guarantee any of these places will fund your education, or if you meet their requirements, but they are listed for your convenience. If you find or know of an agency that is not on the list, please email us so it can be added.
