Here are some of the benefits of obtaining your GED®:
- Get a better job: The majority of jobs in this country require a high school diploma. A High School Equivalency (HSE) diploma, like a GED® transcript, is accepted by employers, just like a high school diploma.
- Continue your education: A HSE diploma is accepted at most colleges and universities across the country as proof you have completed your high school education. Those with an HSE diploma are eligible to apply for federal financial aid, such as Pell Grants. Some colleges even have scholarship programs specifically for GED® graduates.
- Feel more self-respect: By earning their diplomas, those with an HSE experience a remarkable improvement in how they feel about themselves and their lives. It can make a difference!
- Increase your income: Income increases with your level of education. A better job usually means better pay.
- Invest in the future: Educated parents have better-educated children. Earning a HSE diploma isn't just an investment in yourself, it is also an investment in the future of your children.
- Earn a bonus: Those who pass the GED® examination at NPC are awarded a six-credit hour NPC scholarship that also covers the media fee – more than a $400 value!
