The primary responsibility for financing college expenses rests with the student and parents to the extent that the family is determined and able to contribute. However, the Office of Financial Aid will do everything possible to provide financial planning assistance to UNVA students and their families. We believe students should select UNVA based upon educational considerations and not financial factors. UNVA rewards academic excellence. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic achievement.
Financial aid is available in the form of grants, work assignments, scholarships, and fellowships.
Some of the financial assistance programs are made possible through resources of the University, while other programs are made possible by private and government agencies. Presidential Scholarship are offered to full-time students with exceptional credentials. University and Merit-Based Grants are offered to applicants who demonstrate academic merit and need. Scholarship information and applications are available through the Financial Aid Office.
