Learn more about FANTIC
Financial Assistance for Noncredit Training (FANTIC) is a tuition assistance option for courses that lead to industry credentials. For qualified students who complete the application process and receive approval, this program will pay for the first one-third of FastForward programs, leaving no out-of-pocket cost for the student. Tuition, fees, supplies and credentialing are included.
To qualify for FANTIC, prospective students must provide appropriate proof of income, Virginia residency, and attend a coaching session. Funding priority is first come, first served while funds remain available. Funds may be paused with limited notice. Prospective students who appear to qualify for other funding assistance will be referred to those funding sources first as FANTIC is a last-dollar program.
