Grants

You don't have to pay out of pocket. 1st Step Healthcare Training is approved to accept multiple funding sources — including grants, scholarships, and workforce programs — that can cover your tuition at little to no cost to you. See what you may qualify for below.

Michigan Work

Michigan's statewide workforce development network. Michigan Works! connects job seekers to funding for training programs — including ours. If you're unemployed, underemployed, or changing careers, you may qualify.

Michigan Rehabilitation Services

If you have a disability or health condition that affects your ability to work, MRS may fund your entire training. This state agency is dedicated to helping people with disabilities gain employment — and healthcare is one of the most in-demand fields.

Michigan Achievement Skills Scholarship

A state scholarship designed for new high school graduates or GED earners, that earned their credentials between 2023-2026.

Path Program

Are you a cash assistance recipient? Great — we're an approved training provider, which means your DHS case worker can refer you to the Path program. Ask your case worker about Path and they will direct you to the correct Michigan Work office.
