Open Door Grant Application
About the grant
The Open Door Grant Program is a state-funded financial aid program that supports non-credit industry credentials and career training.
At Santa Fe College, this funding is available for current workers and future employees who enroll in eligible Continuing Education programs. Awards may cover up to 100% of tuition for an approved Santa Fe College Continuing Education course. Courses are fully online and self-paced.
This grant provides job-skills certification for high-demand fields and supports non-degree-seeking students in Continuing Education.
