Scholarships, Student Investment
and Expectations
Tech901's training programs are made possible through the support of employers, foundations, and community partners who invest in developing the Mid-South technology workforce. Accepted students receive scholarship support that significantly reduces the cost of training while requiring a modest student investment and commitment to program completion, certification attainment, and outcome reporting.

Employers, foundations, government agencies, and community partners invest in Tech901 because a stronger technology workforce benefits the entire Mid-South. Their support helps create opportunities for students while providing employers with access to a growing pipeline of skilled talent.
Tech901 Investment

Students contribute a portion of the training cost and commit to actively participating in class, pursuing certification, and reporting educational and employment outcomes after completing training.

Certification Exam Fees
Tech901 operates an on-site Pearson VUE testing center, allowing students to complete many certification exams in a convenient and familiar environment. Priority scheduling is available for Tech901 students, with limited appointments available to the public.
If a student does not pass an exam on the first attempt, an additional voucher is required to retest. Students in good standing may qualify for reduced-cost retest vouchers through Tech901, helping lower the cost of pursuing certification.
Because certification exams are administered by third-party certification providers, exam objectives, voucher pricing, and retest policies are subject to change by the certification vendor.
