Financial Aid

The process of applying for financial aid - reviewing paperwork, obtaining up-to-date and accurate information, and much more - can be intimidating.

We're here to help!

Each year, Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology's Financial Aid Office assists more than 90% of students with financial aid.

Financial aid is a combination of three key sources of funding: grants, scholarships, and loans.

We created this webpage to help you learn more about financial aid. In addition, the links on the right side of this webpage will provide you with even more information.
