Many students ask if financial aid is available to cover the cost of GED testing. First, it’s important to clarify that Onsego provides online GED prep classes — we do not administer the official GED test. The GED test is offered exclusively by GED Testing Service at GED.com.
Now, let’s get back to financial aid.
