USC Salkehatchie recognizes that a college education is a major expense in most family budgets. Many federal, state, local and institutional sources are available to help students meet those obligations. The Office of Financial Aid and Veterans Benefits administers scholarships, grants, loans, work study, and veterans benefits. Please explore our site for information about those programs.
The Palmetto College Central Financial Aid Office provides administrative support to the Financial Aid Offices located on the University of South Carolina Palmetto College Campuses. Many resources are available on this site.
Students interested in grants, work and 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
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act provides economic relief to students who incurred expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to the COVID-19 outbreak. This includes eligible expenses under a student's cost of attendance such as food, housing, course materials, technology, health care, and childcare. To see if you qualify for these funds, visit CARES Act Federal Grant for more information.
This calculator is intended to provide estimated net price information (defined as estimated cost of attendance — including tuition and required fees, books and supplies, room and board (meals), and other related expenses — minus estimated grant and scholarship aid) to current and prospective students and their families based on what similar students paid in a previous year.
