Financial Aid

This is the only application Virginia Tech requires for federal and Virginia state financial aid eligibility. The information you provide on the FAFSA enables Virginia Tech to determine your eligibility for grants, scholarships, federal work-study, and loans to help defray your education expenses. You also need to complete and submit the General Scholarship Application in Scholarship Central to be considered for Virginia Tech scholarships.Timing is important. Make sure you meet the deadlines to submit your FAFSA and General Scholarship Application.

In planning your financing strategy, explore all available options and be sure you understand how to apply for financial aid, as well as all of the benefits, requirements, and responsibilities of receiving it.

Pending Financial Aid Help

Pending aid on a student’s account refers to the amount of Financial Aid that is anticipated to be awarded on behalf of the student. There are many reasons why a Financial Aid award may be in pending status (ex. funds have not yet been received by the school).  To find out why the aid has not been applied, first check your VT email for any requested documents.  Failure to complete the Master Promissory Note (MPN) and the entrance counseling on https://studentaid.gov/entrance-counseling/ or provide requested documentation can delay your aid.
