Get Help with your Education
If you left high school, we can help you get your GED®. We offer tutoring, payment help, and transportation to school and the GED® test. If you want to apply for college, find scholarships, and learn more about career choices, we can help with that, too.
Urban Ed is tutoring online!
Due to COVID-19, we are unable to offer in-person support at this time. However, we can still help you get your GED® or help with college classes virtually!
