South Carolina Life Scholarship and Hope Scholarship Requirements
You can complete your Free Application for Federal Student Aid beginning October 1. Families can use their prior-prior year tax information to complete the form instead of the prior year's tax information. That means using 2023 tax information to complete the 2025-2026 form. This allows families to file the FAFSA before they file their previous year's taxes.
For more information, visit https://fafsa.ed.gov/
Do you have questions about financial aid? Simply text your financial aid-related questions to the hotline at (302) 278-4037. You will receive a detailed response from a staff member within 15 minutes, Monday-Friday, from 9 am-5 pm. During non-business hours, students and families can receive detailed responses within 24 hours.
