Most students are eligible for some financial aid regardless of family financial circumstances.
Summarized below are the dates by which students should take action in order to meet the priority filing dates. The priority filing date is used to give preference to early applicants for limited fund programs such as Virginia state grants, Federal SEOG grants, Federal Perkins Loans, and Federal Work-Study Program awards. Completed applications received after June 1 will be processed in the order they are received. If students have not applied for financial aid in a timely manner, they may want to contact Student Accounting to request the VCU Installment Payment Plan which budgets each term's bill over four monthly payments. Limited financial aid may be available during the summer term.
