The Accuplacer is a computerized, untimed test to determine skills in reading, writing and math. It usually takes between 1-2 hours in duration, with scores provided immediately upon completion. The Accuplacer may be taken multiple times. State Tech will accept booth ACT and/or Accuplacer scores.

Admissions Information

How can we schedule an Accuplacer test?

The State Tech Foundation Office offers many scholarships for our students. Information and the application for these scholarships can be found below.

Scholarship Information

The first step to apply for state and federal grants and/or student loans is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is completed at fafsa.gov. Be sure to list State Tech’ school code (004711). Students and parents will have to create an FSA ID at studentaid.gov to login and sign the FAFSA. It is important to keep your username and password for future reference. For any questions about federal student loans and Financial Aid visit https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/ or contact the State Tech Financial Aid office.

Will Financial Aid pay for everything?

Financial Aid eligibility is determined based on a student’s FAFSA results, grade level, and cost of attendance as determined by the Financial Aid Office. Once you are admitted into a program and have a completed FAFSA application on file, the Financial Aid Office will determine your eligibility and create a Financial Aid Offer for you. This information will be available through the Financial Aid Portal. You will need to compare your financial aid to your charges to determine where you stand financially.

Do I have to do a FAFSA every year?

Yes, each year you plan on being enrolled in college you will need to complete a FAFSA application. The FAFSA will open in December of this year for the 2024-2025 academic year.
