⚠️ Hey, exciting news! We are in the process of switching the Student Portal to a Mobile App 🤗 This transition will last from May 26th – June 30th

The Help Center may be a little out of date until June 30th. Please bear with us, and don't be afraid to ask questions!

A Success Coach explains how and when you receive stipends from FreeWorld in this 4-min video.

How Stipends Work at FreeWorld

📌 How much is the stipend?

You’ll receive a total of $1,500, paid out as $375 per week for four weeks, starting after your first full week of training.

✅ How to qualify

To be eligible for stipends, you must:

Maintain good attendance at school.
Complete the FreeWorld Agreement before starting school.
Finish all items on the Trucking School Checklist by the end of your first week.

🖥️ How to request your stipend (new process!)

Starting [September 2025 rollout], you’ll now request your stipend each week through the Student Portal:

Log in at app.freeworld.org.
Complete the checklist item called “Request Your Week # Stipend.”
- This option will appear once you’ve attended your first full week of trucking school.
FreeWorld will verify your school attendance before releasing your stipend.

💵 When will I receive my stipend?

Stipends are sent to your PayPal account by 6 p.m. CST each Monday.
If Monday is a holiday, stipends will be processed the next business day.

⚠️ If you don’t see your stipend

If your stipend hasn’t arrived by Tuesday:

Double-check that you submitted your weekly stipend request in the Student Portal.
Confirm that your attendance was reported by your school.
If both are complete, contact FreeWorld Support for help.
