Aspire/GED®/High School Equivalency

The Aspire Program at Marion Technical College (MTC) is a tuition-free service for people who need to work on basic math, reading, or writing skills that help them be more successful in their college courses, in their employment situation, in their preparations for taking the GED® exam (equivalent to a high school diploma), or in learning English as a second language. Both college students and non-college students may participate in Aspire classes.
