Know Money, No Problem!

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.

We encourage you to get started by completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) early! If you are interested in grants or loans, submitting a FAFSA is required. The FAFSA is also a requirement for SC Lottery Tuition Assistance. Here are some easy steps to guide you:

• Get your FSA ID at studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create-account/launch.

• If your parent’s information is required on your FAFSA, you and your parent must obtain an FSA ID to electronically sign forms.

• Log in at studentaid.gov/fafsa-app. TCTC’s school code is 004926.

• You’ll need your personal and tax information. If possible, import your tax information using the DataRetrieval Tool.

If you need assistance filling out the FAFSA, TCTC offers FAFSA Fridays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Ruby Hicks Hall, on the Pendleton Campus.
