Financial Aid Assistance
The deadline to submit the FAFSA is approaching on March 2nd. Get your application in now! The Race to Submit is on. Let's do better than we did last year with submissions. The only way to get free money is to apply!
Remember, tuition is FREE to all community colleges for ALL students, but ONLY if you fill out a financial aid application. To qualify for a Cal Grant, you must also complete an application. GPA's have already been submitted by VPHS on your behalf for the Cal Grant GPA.
