The GED is Now Half Price With Your Library Card!
Now you can take the GED for half the price with a Louisville Free Public Library card.
The Louisville Free Public Library has a deal that just can’t be beat: get credit for what you’ve learned in the real world, and a diploma to back it up! The Library is helping provide funding for GED testing to any qualified GED student who has a library card.
A partnership with Jefferson County Public Schools Adult Education is making half price GED testing possible. “Our students tell us that the testing fee can be a barrier to them earning a GED,” said Julie Scoskie, JCPSACE director. “This offer will have a big impact.”
“The standard $50 fee has proven to be a barrier to many low-income adults who would like to earn their high school equivalency diploma,” said Library Director Craig Buthod, adding that 83 percent of those taking the test earn less than $10,000 a year. “This is one way the library can continue to support a stronger, better educated workforce in Louisville,” Buthod said.
To qualify, students need to successfully complete the GED official practice test and present their Louisville Free Public Library card. For information call JCPS, 485-3400 or visit www.adulted4u.com.
