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

For Fall 2022, Spring 2023 and Summer 2023, submit the 2022-2023 FAFSA. Need assistance with the FAFSA? Contact the Educational Opportunity Center at eoc@tridenttech.edu or 843.574.6430.
