New federal funding now available for EMT training.

For the first time, Federal Pell Grants will help cover the cost of short-term EMT training programs at accredited colleges and universities. The Workforce Pell Grant program, announced by the U.S. Department of Education, takes effect this summer.

Here's what you should know:
✅ Pell Grants do NOT have to be repaid. They are grants, not loans.
✅ EMT training programs of 8 to 15 weeks at accredited institutions can qualify.
✅ Students apply using the FAFSA at studentaid.gov.
✅ Career-changers with bachelor's degrees can now qualify. If you have been thinking about a second career in EMS, this opens the door.
✅ Each state's Governor must approve eligible programs before students can receive funding.

This is a meaningful new pathway for the next generation of EMS clinicians, and a chance for career-changers, veterans, and others who feel called to serve to enter the profession without taking on debt.

If you are considering EMT training, or you know someone who is, talk to an accredited community college in your state and ask whether they plan to participate in the Workforce Pell program.
