But we know that every family – especially during these challenging times – has concerns about cost. 

 

Even if your financial picture has changed, know that our commitment to your college dream has not. All UC students – 100% – receive some sort of financial support. 

There are several types of financial aid, including federal grants, UC scholarships, and loans. We believe a combination of UC, federal, state, and outside aid can make your UC education affordable.

How to Apply for Financial Aid 

Complete the FAFSA

The most important step in financing your education is filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

You can apply online at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa. You must complete the FAFSA to be eligible for loans, scholarships, and grants issued through the federal government and WV state programs.

  • Complete the FAFSA to be considered for the maximum amount of financial aid. Late completion may cause delays in processing and may limit the financial aid received.
  • FAFSA Deadlines
