Trident Tech offers free fall classes
Trident Technical College is extending its free enrollment program for specific in-demand career training programs for fall 2020, beginning Aug. 24.
The college first offered the program in fall 2019, and again for 2020 spring and summer semesters. The college plans to offer free tuition for the entire 2020-21 academic year.
Students can receive free tuition by enrolling in one of 70 programs in manufacturing, information technology, culinary and hospitality, emergency medical technology and technical trades.
“This is a timely opportunity for Lowcountry residents who need new skills to be successful in the job market,” said Trident Tech President Mary Thornley.
In addition to offering free tuition, Thornley said the college decided not to pursue a tuition increase for the upcoming academic year in light of the financial uncertainty faced by so many in the community.
Interested students must submit a free TTC admission application and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Those who qualify will be awarded financial aid to cover the full cost of tuition, registration fees and course fees. Students are responsible for the cost of books and digital course materials.
