Select Tennessee as your school’s state.

This is state funding available in each state for students who qualify with them. The funding amounts that each state is able to offer varies from state to state and also from county to county. Some states and/or counties are able to offer more or less than others. North American Lineman Training Center (NALTC) has to be on your state’s list of providers in order for you to be able to use funds to come to school at NALTC. We are currently on several states’ vendor list, but if we are not, then it is usually just an application NALTC would have to fill out and be approved for before WIOA (Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act) counselors would be able to assist you.

*Call us at 931-582-4161 to confirm that NALTC accepts WIOA funding from your state.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you were to apply for WIOA funding and still use one of NALTC’s lenders referred to on our website, it is important that you understand that any grant given to NALTC on your behalf will go to satisfy any lesser amount the lender pays NALTC first before a refund is granted to the student.  Please call if you have questions about this policy.

There are several ways you might qualify, so if you have ever been diagnosed in school as having some kind of learning disability, call the Vocational Rehabilitation Services in your state, to see if they can help you with funding.

Please feel free to call 931-582-4161 for further assistance.

NALTC is authorized for operation as a postsecondary education institution by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission. We do not have a federal school code, so a student loan that requires that will not be possible. You may apply for a personal loan at a bank of your choosing or use one of the lending companies listed above.

Please feel free to call 931-582-4161 for further assistance.

If these programs do not meet your needs, please contact us 931-582-4161 and ask about other financing options that may be available.
