WORC Grant

Aiken Technical College offers the WORC Grant to support students preparing for careers that meet the workforce demands of the Savannah River Site. To qualify for this financial assistance, students must be enrolled in eligible industrial or nuclear programs at the college. The grant is designed to help cover educational costs for those training in these specific technical fields. To apply, students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which colleges typically use to determine eligibility for grants and other financial aid. This federal form assesses financial need and helps coordinate the grant with other state or institutional funding. For information regarding application deadlines and current dates, applicants must see the official page. This program provides a pathway for students to gain the necessary skills for in-demand technical roles in the region while receiving financial support to help fund their studies.
