Important Dates
To ensure your financial aid award is posted to your account in time to help pay your tuition and fees and purchase books, your FAFSA information must be on file with Trident Technical College's Financial Aid office. Remember, after you submit the FAFSA, it could take up to eight weeks for TTC to receive it. Don't wait - apply as soon as possible.
TIP: Complete your FAFSA every year (preferably in October). By law, the earliest FAFSA applicants receive the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Federal Work Study (FWS) and the South Carolina Needs-Based Grant (SCNBG).
