Before You Begin

Before clicking the button below, make sure you have the following documents gathered and ready. Having everything prepared in advance will allow you to move through the application without interruption. Once started, your application expires in 3 days if not completed.

1. High School Transcript (Required) Obtain a copy of your high school transcript. This does not need to be an official sealed transcript — an unofficial copy is accepted. Your transcript must be scanned using a scanner app and saved as a PDF before uploading. It will be used to verify both your math requirement and your graduation date.

2. College Transcript (Required only if using College Algebra to satisfy the math requirement) If you are satisfying the math requirement through College Algebra or higher, obtain an unofficial copy of your college transcript as well. Scan and save as a PDF before uploading.

3. High School Diploma or GED Certificate (Required only if your high school transcript does not show a graduation date) If your high school transcript does not clearly show a graduation date, or if you completed a GED, have a copy of your diploma or GED certificate ready to scan and upload.

4. Valid Driver’s License Have your valid driver’s license ready to scan using a scanner app. Do not photograph your license — scanned PDFs only.

5. Work History Information You will be asked to provide a summary of your work history. Have your employment dates, employer names, and job titles available.

6. Additional Supporting Documents (If applicable) If you have any of the following, have them ready:

• Military service documentation (DD-214, NGB Form 22, or current service documents)
• Pre-apprenticeship or certificate program completion certificates

Applicants should review all of the information on this page prior to submitting an application.

Applications are accepted online only. To apply, click the blue button below to create your account and begin the application. All applicants who meet minimum requirements may apply.

Your application consists of 8 steps, all of which must be completed (Step 7 is optional depending on how you satisfy the math requirement):

Step 1 — Application (Required) Complete the online application form with your basic personal information.

Step 2 — Supplemental Form (Required) Complete the supplemental questionnaire.

Step 3 — Work History Summary (Required) Provide a summary of your work history.

Step 4 — Voluntary Disability Disclosure (Required) Complete the voluntary disability disclosure form.

Step 5 — Copy of Valid Driver’s License (Required) Upload a scanned copy of your valid driver’s license. Do not take a photo of your license — use a scanner app. Photos that are blurry, angled, or cropped will not be accepted.

Step 6 — High School Transcript (Required) Upload a copy of your high school transcript. Your high school transcript serves two purposes: it is used to verify that you have met the math requirement (Algebra 1 or higher with a minimum grade of “C” for two semesters), and it is used to confirm your high school graduation date. All applicants must submit a high school transcript regardless of how they satisfy the math requirement.

Step 7 — College Transcript (Optional — required only if using College Algebra to satisfy the math requirement) If you are satisfying the math requirement through College Algebra or higher (minimum grade of “C” for one semester), you must also upload an unofficial college transcript in addition to your high school transcript. If you are satisfying the math requirement through your high school transcript, this step is not required.

Step 8 — High School Diploma or GED Certificate (Required only if your high school transcript does not show a graduation date) If your high school transcript clearly shows a graduation date, this step is not required. If your transcript does not include a graduation date — or if you completed a GED — you must upload a copy of your high school diploma or GED certificate to verify that you have met the high school graduation requirement.

Important scanning requirements for all uploaded documents:

• All documents must be clear, complete, and fully legible — all text must be readable

Once you have begun the application, you have 3 days to submit all materials before it expires.
