Greenville Technical College offers an affordable, accessible option for students in Greenville this fall.
Real talk, GVL: Waiting on financial aid news from a university can be stressful, especially with Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) processing delays thrown into the mix. This can make comparing costs and planning for fall classes difficult.
If this sounds familiar, you might want to consider Greenville Technical College as an option. The school is already ahead of the game in processing FAFSA files for the fall semester, and admitted students can expect to have financial aid offers in hand before the end of May.
As your local college, Greenville Technical College offers:
Over 100 programs with flexible course schedules (hybrid and in-person options available)
Transfer paths to ensure credits seamlessly transfer to a four-year college
Some of the lowest tuition compared to other public colleges and universities
And did we mention they’re ranked #1 in the state for online colleges according to Newsweek?
