Financial Assistance

Emu strives to collect information about various grants, reimbursement programs, training incentives, and more for Passive House or high-performance construction training in localities all over the United States. This list is not exhaustive, and we unfortunately cannot provide additional support with respect to any of these resources. Emu does not guarantee that any of these resources will be available to anyone accessing this information from this website or the accuracy or completeness of any the items on the list. This is purely informational as Emu’s way to assist you with your journey to Run Wild Build Passive™️ .

We are a small team, and we rely on volunteered information from our students and network to help us stay up to date with offerings around the country. If you have any information that we should add to this list, please email us at training[at]emupassive.com.

Want to offer financial assistance to your community for Emu Training?

Emu offers a streamlined solution for organizations to provide tuition subsidies:

  1. Purchase Funding Codes for designated amounts and quantity.
  2. Distribute these codes to chosen recipients.
  3. Confirm authorized use when codes are redeemed.

Recipients must adhere to normal Terms & Conditions, including registration deadlines. Redemption doesn’t guarantee a seat; recipients must register. You’ll be notified of code redemption, with a 3-day window to report unauthorized use. Codes are valid for one year and extendable upon request.

To get started, please email training[at]emupassive.com, and include the following information:

  • Your full name and organization you represent
  • How many students would you like to assist?
  • How much in funding would you like to offer per student?
