Most financial aid is awarded on the basis of financial need. Need is the difference between your cost of education
(educational
expenses such as tuition, fees, room, board, books, supplies, etc.) and the amount you and your family contribute toward your education. You may be
eligible for financial assistance and not realize it.
To find out if you qualify, make an appointment with one of our
Financial Aid Specialists. Many sources of
financial aid go untapped because people feel reluctant to apply or think that they do not qualify.
If
you need help to pay for your EDUCATIONAL EXPENSES, don't
hesitate to contact the Financial Aid Office.
Call (941) 924-1365 x62363.
Sarasota County Technical Institute's Financial Aid office is located in Building 14, Room 11.
Federal Grants
Federal Pell and Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity (FSEOG)
are awards made to students by the federal government for educational
purposes. These grants do not have to be paid back after students finish their training program.
Awards are based upon a needs analysis completed for each
student and the total amount of grant money available to SCTI.
Sponsorship
Jobs, etc. offers financial assistance programs for
disadvantaged students. The program will pay for the student's
registration; lab fees and books; and, where applicable, other specialized
program needs such as uniforms, and State Board examination fees. For
additional information students call Jobs, Etc. at (941)
358-4200.
Scholarships
Many area organizations, businesses, and individuals offer scholarships to students. Some of these groups choose their
recipients and have their own application process. Other scholarships are processed by the
SCTI's Financial Aid office and
recipients are selected based on criteria set forth by the donor and/or SCTI. Scholarships will help pay for educational expenses and are available to
students that may or may not qualify for other forms of financial aid.
These financial aid sources are available for student's to enroll in approved career education programs.
Veterans
V. A. benefits are available to eligible veterans for enrollment in approved programs. For more information,
contact SCTI's Guidance office at (941) 924-1365
