GED Test Scholarship Fund

The Portland Literacy Council started the GED Test Scholarship Fund in 2003. The fund assists students by paying a portion (or sometimes all) of the mandatory fees associated with taking the GED exams. GED scholarships are awarded as financial vouchers. The student receives the value of the award (as a reduction of fees) at the time that they register for the GED tests.

    To qualify for the GED Test scholarship you MUST be:
    • currently living within Multnomah, Washington, or Clackamas counties.
    • at least 18 years old.
    • preparing to take the first exam within two months (60 days) of receiving notification of the award.
    • not currently enrolled in a traditional high school program.
