Remember that every October, a new FAFSA is available and must be completed for the next academic year (fall, spring, summer). Complete the new FAFSA early for the best financial aid package.

After you submit your FAFSA, you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) that summarizes the information you provided. Be sure to check it carefully to make sure it is accurate and complete.

The Financial Aid office may need additional information from you, so check the financial aid self-service in the student portal and respond promptly to requests for information.

For Fall 2021, Spring 2022 and Summer 2022, submit the 2021-2022 FAFSA. Need assistance with the FAFSA? Contact the Educational Opportunity Center at eoc@tridenttech.edu or 843.574.6430.
