Tuition and Financial Aid
Dual Enrollment makes good financial sense for families with students who intend to pursue a two- or four-year degree, saving time and money.
Tuition
Dual enrollment students are responsible for ensuring payment of all HGTC tuition and textbook costs unless otherwise directed by your high school counselor or administration. If applicable, tuition payment is due upon receipt of HGTC bill mailed after the semester begins. Bills for any balance due will be mailed to the student鈥檚 address on file 6-8 weeks after the semester begins. Dual Enrollment students can disregard all other college wide dates regarding payment deadlines.
All HGTC tuition and fees are subject to change without prior notification.
Financial Aid
SC Lottery Tuition Assistance (LTA)
Dual enrollment high school students can receive financial assistance from the SC Lottery Tuition Assistance (LTA) program, reducing tuition costs. Qualifying students must have been SC residents* for at least one year and enrolled in two courses (6 credit hours) per semester. LTA is NOT based on financial need, so it does NOT affect LIFE or Palmetto Fellows scholarships after high school graduation. However, grades earned in dual enrollment courses do affect your college GPA and can impact eligibility for future scholarships.
South Carolina Workforce Industry Needs Scholarship (SC WINS)
The SC WINS Scholarship is available to SC residents* enrolled in 3 or more credit hours for the current academic year if tuition costs are not being covered by the district or other grant funding. An additional affidavit will need to be completed and submitted to the Office of Financial Aid through your myHGTC portal. For students in the Associate in Arts and Associate in Science majors, SC WINS funding can only be applied to tuition and cannot be used to purchase textbooks.
*Students who are classified as South Carolina Residents for the purposes of tuition and fees, in accordance with the guidelines established by the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education. Out-of-state or unknown students are ineligible and will be responsible for all out-of-state tuition charges.
Important Note: The grades of college courses completed in high school will affect your class standing and/or GPA and, therefore, will affect your eligibility for LIFE and other scholarships following graduation.
