Tri-County Technical College: Tri-County To Disburse $7.1 Million In Grant Funding To Eligible Students

Press release from the Tri-County Technical College:

August 3, 2021

As with the previous two grant cycles, grants awarded during the 2021-2022 academic year will be based on demonstrated financial need. To be eligible for a COVID-19 Relief grant, students must be enrolled at Tri-County Technical College for the fall 2021 semester and complete a 2021-2022 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

For the fall 2021 semester, individuals who are Federal Pell Grant recipients will receive a one-time grant of $1,250. Those who are not Federal Pell Grant recipients will receive a one-time grant of either $1,000 or $400 depending on the student’s Expected Family Contribution (EFC), an index number colleges use to determine how much financial aid a student is eligible to receive based on their income, assets and benefits.

“By awarding these grants at the start of the fall semester, we can help students stay on track academically and meet the goals they set prior to the pandemic,” said TCTC President Dr. Galen DeHay. “These funds will also empower new students to start their college career when they previously thought they could not afford to do so.”

Tri-County’s admission deadline for the fall 2021 semester is August 12. To apply, visit tctc.edu/apply or call (864) 646-1550.
