Need Help Paying for College? Complete your FAFSA today.
Don't leave money on the table! To qualify for grants, loans, work study opportunities, and Lottery Tuition Assistance, your next step is to submit the online Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). It’s an essential step in ensuring you have access to the financial resources needed to pursue your education and career goals regardless of your family’s financial situation.
Completing the FAFSA as early as possible is recommended, even if you haven’t made a final college choice. Complete the 2024-25 FAFSA for Fall 2024, Spring 2025 and Summer 2025 Semesters. The 2025-26 FAFSA will be available beginning Oct. 1 for the following academic year.
For more details about completing your FAFSA, read more about FAFSA here.
- 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@gvltec.edu for information.
