Financial Aid
Your education at Spartanburg Community College is one of the most valuable investments you will make in your life. The financial aid office is committed to helping you find ways to finance your education because we believe attending college should not be limited by your or your family's financial resources.
At SCC, financial aid is available from several sources: federal and state grants, loan programs, student employment, scholarships and veteran benefits. SCC's financial aid office will help you identify programs that are right for you.
- Complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online using FAFSA on the Web at www.fafsa.gov. The FAFSA must be completed once per year between January and May for the following school year. The school year consists of the fall semester (begins in August), the spring semester (begins in January) and the following summer semester (begins in May).
- You and your parent (if dependent) should apply for a PIN at www.pin.ed.gov prior to starting FAFSA on the Web so that you can sign electronically. After obtaining a PIN, it can be used every year.
- SCC's Title IV school code is 003994.
- You do not have to wait for your financial aid award before continuing with your testing, advisement and registration processes. However, to be awarded financial aid you must be admitted to the College. Contact the SCC admissions center.
- Be admitted to the College and complete your financial aid file by the May 1 priority deadline to be considered for all financial aid funds available.
- For additional information see How and When Do I Apply?
- Communication with Students- The majority of communications from the financial aid office will be sent to your SCC email account. You must review your email and announcements regularly through the SCC Portal to ensure you have the latest information about your financial aid status.
