Basic Food and Employment Training (BFET)

Students may qualify for this benefit if they receive, or are eligible to receive, federal food assistance. Students who also receive TANF are not eligible. Students must check in monthly to maintain eligibility.

Students may receive assistance for tuition, fees, textbooks, tools and supplies, and emergency costs. Students may also qualify for childcare assistance through DSHS Working Connections. BFET assistance works with FAFSA based Financial Aid, and students must make a formal request for BFET assistance. BFET is designed to fill financial gaps that financial aid does not cover. Therefore, the BFET Compliance Specialist will check a student’s financial aid account before proceeding with a request for assistance. More information: 253.680.7286.
