Financial Aid for Education is Available at NETC
“The lack of personal money should not deter you from pursuing your college education dreams,” said Sheryll Marshall, coordinator of financial assistance at Northeastern Technical College. “We can help you identify the resources and options available to help with tuition, fees, books and supplies so you can start your pathway to a college degree.”
Marshall explained that funding is often perceived as a major road block for people wishing to go to college. However, many students across the state and enrolled at Northeastern Technical College are able to attend college because of financial aid programs.
“More than 75 percent of our students at NETC are receiving some sort of financial assistance,” she said. “Because there are a variety of assistance options, we are able to support many students who otherwise would not be able to attend college.”
Financial assistance is typically available in three different forms: federal, state and other aid programs. Federal programs include Pell Grants, work-study programs, academic competitiveness grants and Stafford Loans. State programs include need-based grants, Lottery Tuition Assistance (LTA) and Legislative Incentives for Future Excellence Scholarships (LIFE). Other aid programs include scholarships and grants that are privately funded, local charities, vocational rehabilitation and tuition management programs.
More information about these programs is available by visiting the Office of Student Financial Assistance Webpage or by calling the office of student financial assistance at 843-921-6939, or by visiting the office on the campus of NETC Cheraw.
“Whether you plan to start in the summer, fall, or spring, the sooner you start the financial aid process the better,” said Marshall.
Most awards are issued on a first come, first serve basis, so Marshall encourages students to make the time to come by the office and apply as soon as possible. The office is open from 8:00 am to 6:30 pm Monday through Thursday.
