A little help goes a long way

Tuition and other college expenses are familiar challenges for many community college students. But other smaller costs, such as testing and licensing fees, can also hamper those who are about to launch their careers. The San Diego Community College District aims to help with a new program that quickly reimburses healthcare students for all required licensing, certification, and testing fees. Under the Ready2Work program, fees are covered through private donors, foundations, and some public funds.
