FINANCIAL AID AVAILABLE
Frank A. Clark, VGCC Director of Financial Aid, encourages students who need financial assistance to visit his office immediately and to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online .
Eligible students may receive Pell Grants ranging from $976 to $5,550. Students may also qualify for other college or state funds, including NC Community College Grants and the NC Education Lottery Scholarships, which are need-based grants that can help many students who previously were not eligible for Pell grants. In order for a student to charge tuition, fees, and books to financial aid awards, the application must be processed entirely prior to the registration period. Students should bring a signed copy of their 2009 federal tax return, and/or their parents’ return, when they apply for funding assistance at any of the four campuses. Students with preschool-age children may receive financial assistance to help pay for child care, and applications for this help are also available at the Financial Aid Office.
For more details regarding financial assistance, visit the Financial Aid Office in Room 8215 on Main Campus or call (252) 738-3280.
