Paying with WIOA funding

WIOA (Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act) is a free federal program that may cover your tuition if you qualify. You don't apply through PDA — you apply directly with Workforce Solutions East Texas. Here's exactly how it works:

1
Fill out the WIOA interest form. It's on the Workforce Solutions website and takes about 5 minutes. Open the WIOA interest form →
2
They'll contact you — within up to 3 business days, a Workforce Solutions team member reaches out by phone, text, or email to discuss your eligibility and next steps.
3
Start early — the process takes about 6–8 weeks. Begin as soon as possible so your funding is ready in time to join the class date you want.

Funding is not guaranteed and depends on your eligibility and Workforce Solutions availability. Questions about picking a class date? Call PDA at (903) 913-6444.

Start the WIOA interest form, then see the step-by-step above. The process takes about 6–8 weeks, so start early.
