So what do you get? Well, first of all, for students 16-24, it's free! If you're under 18, it will go off of your family income to determine if you're eligible; if you're over 18 it will go off of your own income.
You have a place to live. There are beautiful new dorms for you to stay while you live on campus, or you can elect to be a non-residential student.
Food. We all like food, and if you're on campus, you have access to free food from the cafeteria for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner!
Quality training from instructors with real world experience! The instructors come to WRJC with a breadth of knowledge and certifications all in the effort to help you earn the best education you can and get out into the working world with the skills you need.
