Such a plan would allow a student to pay a quarter's tuition in several installments, as long as the final installment is paid prior to the beginning of final exams at the end of that quarter. |

Scholarships
A limited number of scholarships are available to students of
funeral service. Numerous funeral service organizations
sponsor and administer scholarship programs, including many
state funeral directors associations, the American Board of
Funeral Service Education, the Ladies Auxiliary of the South
Carolina Funeral Directors Association. Scholarships
administered by the College are available to students at the
end of the first quarter of study. It is advised that a
student contact the College at that time to request an
application for a scholarship. The following are scholarships
currently administered through the College:
| Rita Barber Scholarship | The SCI Georgia Funeral Service Scholarship |
| Chandler Family Scholarship | Lillian Heard Memorial Scholarship |
| Richard L. Stewart Memorial Scholarship |
Pell Grants
Students may qualify for assistance in the form of a Pell
Grant. These grants are awarded primarily on the basis
of need to help pay for educational expenses after high
school. The first step in applying for any of the
Federally sponsored aid programs is to complete the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid. In order to receive
grant money, you must be enrolled on at least a half-time
basis and be making satisfactory progress. Applications
are available at the College, but may also be obtained from
local high school or college counselors.
Student Loans
Students planning to attend Gupton-Jones College are eligible
to apply for Federal Stafford loans. When the results of
the Free Application for Federal Student Aid are received, the
College will assist you in obtaining the proper loan
application forms. These loans are funds that must be
paid back to the lending institution after leaving college or
changing your enrollment status to less than half-time.
Additional details about the terms of repayment are available
from the loan documents, the College, and the lenders.
