Financial Aid & Paying for College

Financial Aid is made available from grants, scholarships, loans, South Carolina lottery tuition assistance and part-time employment from federal, state, institutional, and private sources. Awards from these programs may be combined in an "award package" to meet the cost of education. Financial need, available funds, student classification, academic performance, and sometimes the timeliness of the application determine the types and amounts of aid awarded.
Zero tuition for Summer and Fall Semesters! This changes everything.

Who is eligible for recently-announced Student Loan Debt Forgiveness?

On August 24, 2022, President Joe Biden announced that his administration will be forgiving (canceling) up to $10,000 in student loan debt for millions of borrowers. For Federal Pell Grant recipients, the amount of debt forgiveness/cancellation will be up to $20,000.

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.
