Financial Aid for GED

Many students ask if financial aid is available to cover the cost of GED testing. First, it's important to clarify that Onsego provides online GED prep classes — we do not administer the official GED test. The GED test is offered exclusively by GED Testing Service at GED.com.

Now, let's get back to financial aid.

There are a few options available.

#1. Some states offer free or subsidized GED® testing

• New York 
• Connecticut 
• Maine 
• West Virginia
• Arkansas 
• Maryland 
• Washington DC 

#2. Free testing to first-time test-takers

• Kentucky 
• Ohio 
• Texas 

You can check how it works in your state here.

#3. Help From Healthcare Insurance Providers

Some Healthcare Insurance Providers such as WellCare, Aetna Medicaid Health, and AmeriHealth Caritas include Free GED Testing for their members. 

#4. Dial 2-1-1

Available in all 50 states, 2-1-1 provides free and confidential information and referral to appropriate agencies and community organizations.   

Keep in mind that Onsego offers GED prep online classes; the actual GED® test is provided by the GED Testing Service through ged.com.

Also, we have no contact with the organizations that offer financial aid; we just want to help you by providing publicly available information.
