Don’t let finances get in the way of achieving your dreams
There are options available to help you cover tuition, including financial aid, loans, grants and scholarships.
Affording College
Knowing the cost of college and how you'll pay for it doesn't have to be so difficult.
Each year TJC awards more than $48 million in financial aid grants, loans, scholarships, waivers, exemptions, and work-study to assist students in covering the cost of their education. Most students have a high chance of qualifying for some of this aid.
Our low tuition rates and availability of financial aid make it so that you can afford a high-quality education without going into debt.
