College seems out of reach for many families due to the sky-high cost. But what if you could get a quality education that launches your career without breaking the bank? Trident Technical College (TTC) might be your answer. Let’s break down why TTC is a financially savvy choice.
The True Cost of College
Don’t be fooled by the sticker price! The average student at TTC pays only $1,057 per year AFTER financial aid. That’s a fraction of the $17,015 yearly cost before aid. Most students qualify for grants, scholarships, and other aid that dramatically reduces the price.
Why Trident Tech is Wallet-Friendly
- Get a Degree (and a Job!) Faster: Many TTC programs take two years or less, meaning you save on tuition and start earning sooner.
- In-State Advantage: If you’re a South Carolina resident, you’ll pay significantly less than out-of-state students at most colleges.
- Smaller Classes, More Attention: Community colleges like TTC often mean more personalized help from professors, which can contribute to your success.
TTC + Financial Aid = Success
- TTC Has Your Back: Visit Trident Tech’s website or talk to an advisor to learn about scholarships, grants, and how to navigate the financial aid process.
- Real-World Example: [If you can find a TTC alum, insert a quote about how financial aid made their education possible].
- The Power of Aid: Use the income chart, but add a sentence like: “Depending on your family’s income, you could save thousands per year at TTC!”
Beyond the Numbers
TTC isn’t just about affordability. They offer programs in high-demand fields that lead to good-paying jobs:
- Healthcare: Nurses, techs, and more are always needed.
- Information Technology: Help businesses thrive in our tech-driven world.
- Skilled Trades: Plumbers, electricians, welders… these jobs are in demand!
