Trident Technical College will again offer students a chance to take classes for free this fall if they enroll in specific in-demand career training programs.

In addition to offering free tuition, Thornley said the college decided not to pursue a tuition increase for the upcoming academic year in light of the financial uncertainty faced by so many in the community.

Students can receive free tuition by enrolling in one of 70 programs of study in the fields of manufacturing, information technology, culinary and hospitality, emergency medical technology and technical trades.

The college is able to offer students free tuition through a combination of federal, state and college financial aid funds.

To see a list of programs eligible for free tuition and for additional information Fall and Fall 1 classes begin Aug. 24.
