Frequently Asked Questions About Free Welder Training

DO I qualify for free welding programs? 

The majority of the free or heavily discounted classes offered through Earlbeck depend on grants, scholarships, and occasional sponsorships. Because of the wide variety of financial aid sourcing, requirements for each can vary. Be sure to thoroughly read through the eligibility requirements on each opportunity to see if it is right for you!

If nothing seems like the right fit at the moment, sign up for our email list or check out our blog for announcements about the newest funding sources.

I didn't get the scholarship i applied for- what are my other options?

We're sorry you didn't get the specific funding you applied for, but the good news is there are always new opportunities for free or discounted training popping up all the time!

Sign up for our email list using the form above to stay current on the newest opportunities and deadlines. Or check out our Financial Aid & Scholarships page to see opportunities on the horizon!

Do free classes cover the same material as paid classes?

In most cases, yes! Students using scholarship money for specific courses will be placed in the classroom and shop alongside students paying full price out of pocket.

Exceptions may include city or state funded welding cohorts with a mission in mind- think bridge (someone's gotta build a new Key Bridge) or other building cohorts. These courses may be tailored towards a specific learning goal that deviates from our general class structure, but rest assured that all opportunities for free training meet our same high standards for curriculum, hands-on practice, and expert guidance from qualified teachers!
