PVCC Educational Foundation Scholarships
The PVCC Educational Foundation offers over 100 scholarships each year. Scholarships come from a variety of sources, and unlike loans, do not have to be repaid.
There is no separate scholarship application. PVCC offers a one-step financial aid and scholarship assistance process. To be considered for any scholarship, financial aid, or grants, you must complete a FAFSA or VASA application. Scholarships, along with financial aid and grants, will be awarded through the Financial Aid Office to meet each student's tuition, fees, and book needs.
The FAFSA and VASA applications open each October for the next award year. The applications are located at www.studentaid.gov for FAFSA and www.schev.edu/financial-aid for VASA. On your FAFSA or VASA application, indicate PVCC as the institution you plan to attend for the 2024-2025 academic year - beginning August 26, 2024. PVCC's school code is 009928. The 2024-2025 application will request your 2022 federal tax information if you filed or will file taxes.
Questions? Contact the Financial Aid Office at 434.961.5204 or sdowell@pvcc.edu.
