Numerous scholarships are available each year from private sponsors.
Local/Private Scholarships are awarded by a source outside of VWCC. Students are responsible for obtaining these scholarships on their own. Each agency or source will have its own requirements for the particular scholarship for which a student applies. Once a local/private scholarship is awarded to a student, the student will need to complete and submit the Scholarship Information Form (located on the Financial Aid Forms page), a scholarship award letter or notification (if available), and the scholarship check into the Financial Aid Office in order for the scholarship to be applied to the student’s account.
