Enrollment Step 3 - Apply for Financial Aid

• Prior to starting the FAFSA, you will first create your FSA ID at studentaid.gov.
• Once you have your FSA ID you will then begin completing your FAFSA at fafsa.gov. The program will walk you through the process.
• When prompted, use Greenville Technical College’s school code – 003991 – so that the results will be sent directly to us.

If you have already completed a bachelor’s or master’s degree, you can opt to submit a FAFSA waiver. Contact financialaid@dos5.net for information.

• The FAFSA must be submitted to receive all federal aid, SC Lottery Tuition Assistance, and most scholarships.
• You should complete the FAFSA every academic year that you need help paying for college (academic year includes Fall, Spring, and Summer terms).
• The FAFSA is available every year beginning October 1.

Submit your FAFSA by the following GTC Priority dates in order to receive financial aid before the tuition payment deadline:

Fall – May 1
Spring – October 1
Summer – February 1

For in-person assistance with the FAFSA, visit the computer lab in the Student Success Center (Bldg 102) on the Barton campus.
