Financial need is not a criterion for the awards. They are renewable for as many as three consecutive years, provided the appropriate cumulative grade point average is maintained. Once students have declared a major, they may be eligible for scholarships within the department. These scholarships are endowed and students must meet applicant criterion. Financial Aid Grants are awards based on financial need and do not require employment.
Work study is a part-time employment usually on campus.
All students are encouraged to apply for financial aid. For consideration for the maximum amount of financial eligibility, students must ensure that they apply for financial aid before the deadline of April 15. Prospective students may also call the Financial Aid Office at 804.VCU.MONY for additional information.
