Financial Aid and Tuition
Nearly 80% of all MTC students receive financial aid.
The state of South Carolina, the federal government, and Midlands Technical College offer many different scholarships, loans, grants, and work-study programs. You can apply for all of these financial aid opportunities by filling out a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) on the Federal Student Aid website. Our school code for the FAFSA is 003993.
