The costs to attend Tri-County make us one of the best values in education you'll find anywhere! We're committed to keeping the costs as low as possible and the quality unparalleled. Even so, we understand that paying for your college education can be a challenge, so be sure you check out all your options for financial aid as early as possible.

 

Applying for Aid

You could receive money from the federal government, the state of South Carolina, and Tri-County Technical College that can help you pay for college. To apply or renew your financial aid, your first step is to complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or FAFSA® (include Tri-County's school code: 004926).

You've Completed Your FAFSA. What's Next?

  • Check out this helpful video to see what happens.
  • You will be notified by email and through your MyTCTC student portal once Tri-County has received your completed FAFSA and if any additional paperwork is required.
  • Check your financial aid information through the "My Financial Aid" tile on the MyTCTC student portal.
  • If selected for the verification process, follow these steps.
  • Review the Terms & Conditions.

*Note: If you are in default on any student loans or not making Satisfactory Academic Progress, aid cannot be awarded until this has been cleared.

Understanding Types of Aid

Maintaining Aid

To continue receiving aid, you must maintain the following Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements:

  • Grade Point Average (GPA) - Institutional GPA of 2.0.
  • Completion Rate - Maintain a 67% cumulative completion rate.
  • Maximum Time Frame- Complete your degree/diploma/certificate within 150% of the required program hours of study. Example: a student enrolled in a 60 credit hour program is eligible until 90 credit hours are attempted (60 x 1.5 = 90).

LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR SERVICES

To help ease the financial burden for South Carolina college students and their families, the South Carolina General Assembly has created an income tax credit for tuition paid to South Carolina colleges and universities. To claim the credit, a Form SC 1040 must be filed. When preparing the South Carolina income tax return, Form I-319 Tuition Tax Credit must be completed. This form is included with all state individual income tax booklets. For more information about the tax credit, please visit the South Carolina Tuition Tax Credit website.
