If you’ve ever thought about going to college or finishing your degree, a new state grant might help you get started.

The Fast Track Workforce Incentive Grant is now offered at a selection of higher education institutions across the state. The program hopes to increase employment in high-demand careers and the percentage of working-age adults with higher education by offering financial assistance to those seeking degrees, certificates or industry-recognized credentials.
