First Semester Free

With the support of external funders, Lee County Industrial Development Authority, the Elsa and Peter Soderberg Family Foundation, and the FutureMakers Coalition, we are excited to offer GED completers from partner institutions a free semester at FSW. Funds are limited and available on a first-come, first-serve basis. We anticipate current funds will last through 2025.
