PVCC4U. 100%! tuition assistance is available for the upcoming spring and fall semesters. You must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Eligibility for PVCC4U tuition assistance will be determined after your FAFSA is completed. Additional eligibility criteria is below.
PVCC4U. 100%! Eligibility Criteria
PVCC4U provides 100% of the cost of tuition and fees for in-state students who:

- Enroll in 6 credit hours or more
- Have not already received a bachelor’s degree or higher

Transient students taking a course to transfer back to their university are not eligible. This mirrors the federal guidelines for courses that are eligible for financial aid. Even if you do not meet the above requirements, there are other sources of financial assistance available.
