- Counseling: After a very strong response to our May 7 Counseling Grant opening, WWIN is now in the process of evaluating how much of our Counseling budget will be left for new applicants this year. Please check back on this website on or after September 15, when we will know more about further funding for Counseling.

- Health
Care Insurance Premiums: Date to be announced.
If you qualify to receive an application (i.e. you meet the low income guidelines), you should fill it out and return it within 30 days. Your spot on the waiting list is determined by the date we get your application back. Applicants to the Education program must apply for Federal Financial Aid before applying for WWIN funding. Applicants to the Insurance Premium program must have health insurance, or have applied for health insurance, in order to apply for WWIN funding - WWIN does not provide health insurance.
