Can You Get it For Free?

[Account Closed]

Alan Donegan of PopUp Business school posed an interesting question in a podcast that lately has stuck with me and it has been to ask the question, "can you get it for free?" Be it a new appliance, video games or even an education.

In turn, I pose this question to the community (also a bit selfishly!) can I get my pre-licensure courses and or license for free? I've been looking into several grants but they insist that one must be enrolled in college full time (which I am not). 

Has anyone managed to get their license for free or reduced cost, if so, how did you do it? Bonus points if you find anything state specific that isn't California!

There are free online PLE and CE programs in Virginia from Moseley, which I've done so I know they actually work for required CE credits.  As far as initial real estate licensing, you may have some luck speaking to individual brokers who may provide assistance, or they may reimburse you for your education as part of an incentive to join their brokerage.  Or talk to schools offering actual classroom licensing versus online as they may have known connections for tuition grants or assistance.
