At South Carolina State University, we strive to make our educational opportunities available to as many students as possible. We understand that paying tuition and fees can be a challenge. To help you pay those fees and get the education and college experience you want and deserve, we offer numerous types of financial aid to help you pay for school.
The first step to applying for all of these types of aid is to complete your Free Application for Federal Student Aid® (FAFSA) form. SC State's Title IV School Code is 003446. Be sure to include that code in the designated areas of your application to indicate that your aid will go toward SC State.
While each type of aid comes with its own requirements and stipulations, federal regulations require financial recipients to make satisfactory academic progress each year toward earning a degree. That progress is based on your grade point average (GPA) and credits earned each semester in relation to credits attempted. To learn more about SC State's satisfactory academic progress policies, please consult the undergraduate catalog.
