Central Carolina Technical College Continues No-Cost Tuition for Summer and Fall, Announces New Initiatives

Sumter, SC (04/01/2022) — New, returning and current students can take advantage of no-cost tuition for summer and fall 2022 classes at Central Carolina Technical College thanks to a combination of funding sources.

Central Carolina Technical College has once again removed tuition cost as an obstacle to a high quality education. No-cost tuition makes college accessible for everyone. As the premier training resource for workforce in our area, CCTC is addressing the labor shortage through access, training and pathways that begin in high school.

Qualifying students can take one course or a full load to achieve their educational goals. Funding for no-cost tuition will automatically be applied to students enrolled in a qualifying program after applying all other financial aid. Textbooks and supplies are not covered and some fees apply.

Not all CCTC programs are covered under the no-cost tuition for summer. Interested students should see the qualifications on the college website at cctech.edu.
