Confirm South Carolina Residency (if applicable)


Classification as a resident for tuition payment purposes is not based upon your address. If you live in South Carolina, you should review your residency status and submit the appropriate form, if required. Your eligibility for a Winthrop scholarship or South Carolina HOPE or LIFE scholarship (if applicable) cannot be confirmed if a decision on your residency status has not been rendered. To complete your South Carolina residency form:


1. Log in to your application portal at apply.winthrop.edu/portal/admit. 2. Look under the forms section. 3. Click on the “SC Residency Form” to begin. 4. Fill out the form (Many questions are about your family’s tax filing status. Be sure to have the correct information handy!). 5. Click “Submit” at the bottom.

Apply for Financial Aid


Apply for financial aid any time after October 1 at FAFSA.gov. The priority deadline is February 1. You must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to be considered for certain federal and state financial aid programs. You and your parents can request a PIN that will be issued to sign the form.


When submitting the FAFSA, use Winthrop’s code: 003456. Financial aid packages are typically released in late March and will be posted to Wingspan.
