NEED HELP PAYING FOR COLLEGE?
Let the professionals in our financial aid office help you sort out the options of paying for a quality education now - with less debt after you graduate.
To qualify for grants, student employment, loans and some scholarships, apply for Financial Aid.
You can also pay your tuition with an interest-free tuition payment plan, cash or credit.
Grants
Grants are awarded by federal, state and institutional sources and do not have to be repaid.* They are based on financial need. St. Petersburg College offers federal Pell Grants, state grants and other grants.
Scholarships
Scholarships can reward you for academic excellence, talent and achievement. They are not always based on financial need and they don't need to be repaid.
Student Employment
Student employment can really pay off and is an important source of financial aid that doesn't have to be repaid. Opportunities are available at campus sites year round, but you'll need to apply early to grab the post you want.
Loans
College loans are another way to finance your college education. But because they have to be paid back, we encourage you to exhaust all other options first and only borrow what you need.
Other Ways to Pay for College
SPC offers an interest-free payment plan, tuition waivers and other ways to earn credit toward your degree.
*If you withdraw from one or all of your classes, you may have to repay all or a portion of your federal grant funds.
