Financial Assistance Information​
​
​ Here at the Gandhi School we understand that without aid, low- and moderate-income students often increase their work hours and cut class hours. The challenge of working and keeping up with class work becomes too much and this lowers their chances of completing their training program and receiving a certificate. In our efforts to provide an equal opportunity for all to receive training and begin working in the field we have provided below a few sources of financial assistance that would be beneficial to our potential applicants.
