The Financial Aid Office processes financial aid applications and packages awards based upon information submitted by students in the Free Application of Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). FAFSA packets are available in high school counselor's offices or at the VCSU financial aid office, and applications are typically made online through the FAFSA web site. We encourage students to complete their FAFSA as early as possible. Counseling is also available to address such issues as financial problems, budgets, and special needs. About 74% of VCSU students receive some form of financial aid.
