My USC Salkehatchie

Financial Aid

USC Salkehatchie recognizes that a college education is a major expense in most family budgets. It is important to know that there are many federal, state, local and institutional sources available to help students meet those expenses. Please read on for more information. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to your campus Financial Aid Office. We are here to help!

Palmetto College Central Financial Aid Office 

The Palmetto College Central Financial Aid Office is a centralized resource for students who attend any of the four Palmetto College campuses. Visit their website to find out about the types of available financial aid, to read important consumer information, to learn how to apply or to complete a required form. 


How to Apply 

Students interested in federal or state grants, Federal Work Study and student loans should fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This is something you’ll need to do annually to be considered for aid each year you’re in school. 


Net Price Calculator 

The USC Salkehatchie Net Price Calculator allows prospective students to enter information about themselves to find out what students like them paid to attend the institution in the previous year, after taking grants and scholarship aid into account.  


Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Appeals 

All students deemed ineligible to receive financial aid as a result of failing to meet any component of this policy have the right to appeal. All appeals must be submitted in writing to the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships (OSFAS). Appeals are approved on a case-by-case basis. The student must have experienced one or more specific, mitigating or other unforeseen circumstances that interfered with the completion of his or her coursework. 

Contact the Financial Aid Office for help with your appeal. 


SAP appeal deadlines 

  • Fall 2023 deadline: August 18, 2023 
  • Spring 2024 deadline: December 15, 2023 
  • Summer 2024 deadline: May 3, 2024 

Any appeals received after these dates may not be reviewed because would be insufficient time remaining in the semester for the full processing of financial aid.
