What You Get from Remington College’s Free GED Prep Course
Did you know that more than 40% of people who earn a GED go on to complete some college-level education?(1)
And did you know that as of July 1, 2012, students who do not have a high school diploma or GED will not be able to get federal financial aid for college?(2)
