Adults 25 and up may be eligible for free tuition at JCTC
A new program, funded by a Jump-Start Grant, will enable Jefferson Community and Technical College (JCTC) to offer adults 25 and over free tuition.
In order to qualify for the grant applicants must be first-time students in 2021-22 and be eligible for federal financial aid. To renew for the spring semester grant recipients will have had to maintain a GPA of 2.O. The program will be accessible to residents in 10 Kentucky counties of which Jefferson is one.
According to a release from JCTC, the percent of adult or non-traditional students has dropped off significantly. Jefferson Community and Technical College President Dr. Ty Handy said in the release:
Many institutions find a banner printing service to be invaluable in relaying an important message.
Additional requirements and restrictions include: Visiting students are ineligible as are non-degree seeking students and only those who are new to Jefferson either by being a transfer or a freshman are eligible. Moreover, the student has to be enrolled in at least six credit hours and eligibility extends to only the courses required.
The Jefferson Jump-Start Grant is only for the Fall 2021 and the following Spring semesters. Applications are being accepted now.

“We know that in the Louisville market, there are many unfilled jobs that require some level of college education; and yet financially, so many Louisvillians aren't able to get their education started to work toward these jobs."
