Lottery Tuition Assistance to Cover up to $948 for Summer 2007

May 4, 2007
ROCK HILL—The amount of lottery tuition assistance (LTA) available to students who attend any of the state’s 16 technical colleges this summer has been finalized. The maximum amount of lottery-funded tuition assistance for 2007 summer term has been set at $948 per semester for full-time students (12 or more credit hours) and $79 per credit hour for eligible part-time students.

Lottery tuition assistance offsets approximately two-thirds of the college's full-time in-county tuition of $1,494 per semester. More than 2,000 York Tech students receive lottery tuition assistance.

To be eligible for lottery-funded tuition assistance, students must meet the following requirements:

  • Complete a 2006-2007 FAFSA (see exceptions to this requirement below). The forms can be found online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov and at all technical colleges;

  • Qualify for in-state tuition rates and must have been a South Carolina resident for at least one year;

  • Be enrolled in a certificate, diploma or associate degree program and maintain at least six credit hours each semester;

  • Make clear progress toward completion of a certificate, diploma or associate degree;

  • Not be eligible for a LIFE scholarship;

  • Not be in default on any government student loan program.

The FAFSA requirement may be waived if:

  • The applicant is a high school student enrolled in a dual enrollment program;

  • The applicant already has earned a bachelor's degree and will provide a transcript or copy of his/her diploma;

  • The applicant is not enrolled in a program that is eligible for Title IV aid;

  • The applicant is a dependent student who cannot obtain his or her parents' or guardian's tax form(s) and a college official has made a professional judgment to that effect.
