Workfirst Financial Aid (WFA) is a program that pays for tuition, books, and required
fees for eligible students. WFA also pays for childcare through the Working Connections
Child Care Program at DSHS. Childcare is available for both work and school time
if the student is working 20 or more hours per week.
Students may attend full, half, or less than half time and may enroll in credit
or non-credit classes.
