Get paid to earn your GED.
A General Educational Diploma or GED is equivalent to a high school diploma. The Job Corps offers GED training for young adults from 16 to 24 years of age. Participants are paid to earn their GED, earning a monthly living allowance based on days of attendance. The beginning bi-weekly amount is $25 for up to 56 days of attendance. The maximum payment is $50 bi-weekly for more than 160 days of attendance. Completing the GED earns students an additional $200.
