Financial Aid

A variety of financial assistance is available at Bowling Green Technical College for eligible students pursuing approved certificates, diplomas and degrees. Financial Aid Awards are based on student's financial need. Need is defined as the difference between a student's cost of attendance (tuition, fees, room, board, books, supplies and miscellaneous expenses), minus the amount the student and his/her family is expected to contribute to the cost of the education as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

More information is available by clicking here or by contacting one of the BGTC Financial Aid Officers:

Rick W. Wilson, Director of Financial Aid

Mike Hills, Financial Aid Coordinator

Apply for financial aid by submitting a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is necessary to determine you eligibility for many types of federal and state aid! For fastest results submit your application over the internet at

You will receive results from your FAFSA a few weeks after it is submitted, and each school you list on the FAFSA will receive results electronically. The FAFSA school code for Bowling Green Technical College is 005271. The Bowling Green Technical College Financial Aid Office will contact you when your information is received and inform you of your potential eligibility or any necessary action you are required to perform.

You should submit your FAFSA several weeks prior to your initial enrollment date! The earlier you apply the more "free" financial aid you may qualify for.

The "Priority" deadline for Kentucky residents is March 15. Apply as soon as possible after you have completed your federal tax return.
