This page provides a list of financial aid deadlines for Virginia’s public and private institutions participating in state financial aid programs. Please check with your preferred institutions’ financial aid offices for updates, details on priority versus final application deadlines and additional application information.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is required in order for a student to be considered for most federal and state financial aid programs. Some institutions may require another application (such as an institutional scholarship application or summer aid application).
The Virginia Tuition Assistance Grant (VTAG), a program for residents attending the private institutions listed below, requires a separate application and has a separate deadline.
