Financial Aid
There are a variety of financial aid options available:
- Grants
- Scholarships
- Loans
- VA Benefits
- Employement
- Tuition Assistance Programs
- Employee Tuition Reimbursement
Your first action should be to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and include Clemson University school code (003425) in it so that our office will receive your information. The Department of Education will determine your Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) using the information supplied on the FAFSA. The FAFSA can be completed online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
You should submit the FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1st each year. In order to be considered for need-based scholarships, the processor must receive your completed FAFSA by March 1st. The priority deadline for the Federal Supplemental Grant, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work-Study and South Carolina Need-Based Grant is April 1st. April 1st is also the suggested deadline to apply for the Federal Pell Grant and Federal Stafford Loan. You do not have to be accepted for admissions first to apply for financial aid.
Once the required information is received your Financial Aid award will be "packaged" and sent to you in an award letter.
