Tuition & Fee Notes:
  • Career & Technical Education Course Fees
    • New course fees for select high-cost programs help ensure Virginia’s most in-demand career pathways remain strong, accessible, and built for the future. These fees support the materials, tools, and hands-on experiences required for today’s careers. See Course Fees
Other Financial Aid to Pay for College:
  • You may be eligible for additional financial aid from Federal, State, and Local sources. Military education benefits are not considered in determining eligibility for federal financial aid. Everyone is therefore encouraged to apply for federal financial aid by submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), because many will qualify for additional educational funds like Pell Grants, worth over $5,500/yr.
