Assistance and Counseling Financial aid information and counseling are available at the Financial Aid Office, Administrative Center 110. The staff is ready to assist you and your family with questions concerning the application process, types of aid available, scholarship criteria and college work study opportunities, as well as other general concerns. Stop by the Financial Aid Job Fair table during fall registration to learn about work study positions, from office jobs to positions with maintenance, Public Safety, or the farm. The Financial Aid Office may also help you find a community service position at a nonprofit agency or an America Reads position at a local elementary school. If you or your family’s financial situation has recently been affected by extenuating circumstances such as unemployment, a death in the family, divorce, or excessive medical expenses not covered by insurance, you may write to the Financial Aid Office about your situation. Your file will be reviewed, and adjustments may be made depending on the circumstances.
The Financial Aid website is also a convenient resource for researching financial aid information including work study information and scholarships. Most scholarships have an application deadline of March 15, so apply early. Go to www.vtc.edu, click on Admissions then click on Financial Aid.
