FINANCIAL AID
NVCC has a student financial aid program to assist you with your
educational expenses. This program is sponsored by the federal
and state governments and the College. Scholarships, grants,
loans, and work-study opportunities are available.
To apply, contact the Financial Aid Information Service/Counseling
Services on any campus or the College Financial Aid Office. The
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and selection
of a major in a degree or certificate program are necessary to
determine eligibility. FAFSA on the Web is available at http://www.nvcc.edu/finance/.
You must also meet other federal and state eligibility criteria.
(To ensure faster processing, you should write in the College
Title IV School Code: NVCC 003727.) While most programs require enrollment
for at least 6 semester credits, a limited number of programs are
available to students enrolled for fewer than 6 semester credits.
The NVCC Student Financial Aid Services brochure provides a complete
description of the programs and application process for student
aid. A copy may be obtained on each campus, the College Financial
Aid Office, or on the College Web site at http://www.nvcc.edu/finance/brochure_new.htm.
You are encouraged to apply as early as possible. If you need financial
aid to make payment, please allow at least four weeks for
processing.
Completed applications received by March 1 will receive priority
consideration for all financial aid funds. Financial aid applications
received after the March 1 priority-filing date will continue to
be considered during the school year. Applicant materials may be
mailed to NVCC, College Financial Aid Office, Forbes Office Center,
Annandale, VA 22003-3796.
VETERANS BENEFITS
If you are applying for or are receiving educational benefits from
the Department of Veterans Affairs, you must contact a campus veterans
advisor each semester to complete the necessary
forms to establish and maintain your eligibility for benefits. Any
changes must also be reported promptly to the veterans advisor.

for further information.
