Ability-to-Benefit Alternatives

Ability to Benefit (ATB) allows a student without a high school diploma or equivalency to receive Title IV student financial aid to pay for postsecondary education and training if they are enrolled in a career pathway program. To receive aid, the student must first complete 6 credits (or equivalent) applicable toward a degree or certificate, pass a Department of Education (ED) approved exam, or complete a state process approved by the Secretary of Education.
