Hospitality program at Mountain Gateway Community now supported by G3 tuition assistance
Clifton Forge, VA - Mountain Gateway Community College is pleased to announce the Hospitality program is now supported by G3 tuition assistance.
The G3 Program, designed for Virginia residents who qualify for in-state tuition and have a household income falling below an identified threshold (roughly $100,000 for a family of four), offers a "stackable" pathway for students. This means that most programs start with skills training leading to a certificate with immediate value in the job market.
At MGCC, students can enroll in hospitality courses beginning this fall and ultimately earn a Hospitality Management Career Studies Certificate or Hospitality Services Certificate, providing a comprehensive educational journey for aspiring hospitality professionals. Previously, Hospitality courses at MGCC were not supported by G3.
“I am thrilled about the expanded opportunities for our students enrolling in the Hospitality program,” said Rachael Thompson, Assistant Professor and Business Program Head. “The addition of G3 tuition assistance opens doors for aspiring hospitality professionals, allowing them to pursue high-demand careers with the necessary support to achieve their educational and career goals."
To be eligible for G3 tuition assistance, students must meet specific criteria, including qualification for in-state tuition, a household income of less than or equal to 400% of the Federal Poverty Level, enrollment in a minimum of six credit hours in a Virginia community college or an eligible FastForward workforce credential program, participation in a designated G3 program (in this case, hospitality), and application for federal and/or state financial aid programs.
