The BVR provides a joint federal and state grant program for undergraduate students with disabilities. A student's eligibility for funding is determined by the Rehabilitation Services Commission in the student's state of residence. Students with disabilities who are interested in applying should contact the Commission in their capital city to begin the process.
Loans are available to most students.
The rate of interest varies according to the type of loan eligibility, which is based on individual financial circumstances. Borrowing is a personal choice that should only be made after careful consideration and review of the terms of the loans, especially repayment. The low interest Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan is available to students who demonstrate financial need. Students not eligible for the Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan may be eligible for the Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan regardless of financial need or income. The Office of Financial Services will calculate eligibility, certify the loan and initiate a promissory note from a lender of your choice.
