Before deciding to enter college, many students wonder how they will pay for their education. Good news! Tuition at Victoria College is very affordable, and students have access to a number of financial aid options to help pay for school.
In order to explore all available financial aid options, it is important to fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form with VC's Financial Aid Office. The FAFSA information is used to determine financial aid eligibility for grants, loans, and many scholarships.
FAFSA on the Web Nights
Victoria College's Financial Aid Office periodically hosts FAFSA on the Web Nights to assist current and potential students with filling out the FAFSA application. The following FAFSA on the Web Nights are currently scheduled:
- Tuesday, March 6, from 3:00 to 7:30 p.m. – Calhoun Center
- Wednesday, March 7, from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. – Gonzales Center
- Thursday, March 8, from 3:00 to 7:30 p.m. – Victoria Campus located in the Health Science Center, Room 123
IMPORTANT: If you plan to attend a FAFSA on the Web Night, please review the complete lists of documents you should bring with you.
Types of Financial Aid
Grants
Grants may be obtained through the government, such as the Federal Pell Grant, or from state educational agencies. Grants help pay for college and do not need to be repaid after graduation.
Scholarships
In addition to scholarships available from local businesses, civic organizations, and through the Victoria College Foundation, students have access to literally thousands of scholarship opportunities via the Internet.
Loans
Student loans can be used to help pay for college without requiring cash up front. All loans are required to be repaid, but student loan interest rates are low, and flexible repayment plans are available.
Other Financial Aid Options
Financial assistance for workforce training programs at VC is available through other organizations, including the Workforce Solutions Golden Crescent office.
