Program Information

There is no denying the correlation between education and self-sufficiency. Without a high school diploma or General Educational Development (GED) certificate, earning a livable wage is drastically more difficult. SEICAA’s education program serves as a starting point towards self-sufficiency by providing individualized assistance for GED test fees.

GED Fee Assistance

SEICAA will pay for participants to take the GED test up to three times in one calendar year.

School Supplies and Fees Assistance

School supplies and fees assistance are available to income-eligible participants. The supplies are received through community donations and are distributed on a limited basis.

Program Guidelines

Eligibility for services is based on a household’s income:
