Education Assistance
“I’m getting back on my feet, and I can’t wait to give back to the community.” - Amanda, Education Assistance Client.
You’ve got goals. We can help you reach them.
Going back to school takes courage and you’ve already taken the first step by exploring your options. Whether you’re working toward a degree, earning a certification, or training for a new career, a North Hills Community Outreach’s Education Assistance Grant is here to help you move forward. This grant is designed for non-traditional adult students who want to build new skills, open doors to better job opportunities, and create a brighter future for themselves and their families.
If you live or study in northern Allegheny County (outside Pittsburgh), meet our income guidelines (household gross income at or below 200% of the poverty level for the past 30 days), and are enrolled in an accredited post-secondary undergraduate, trade, or certificate program, you may be eligible. Award amounts vary based on need and available funding.
The Spring 2026 (January 2026 program/class start date) application deadline is October 15, 2025. Don’t let cost hold you back and apply today.
