Tuition & Financial Aid
The first step in the financial aid process is to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, FAFSA. The FAFSA will help our Financial Aid office determine what type of federal aid you may be eligible to receive. The types of aid this may include are the Pell Grant, a need-based grant, and/or Direct Federal Student Loans.
The FAFSA can be completed at https://www.studentaid.gov.

This grant has both registration, academic, SC residency and need-based requirements. Not everyone may qualify. The FAFSA must be completed by June 30 for the upcoming year in order to be considered for the grant.
