 TVCC Financial Aid

 

The financial aid program at Trinity Valley Community College is designed to provide federal and state financial aid through scholarships, grants, loans and on-campus employment.  The FAFSA application is used to determine eligibility for both state and federal aid programs.  Students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible each year, since funding for some of the programs are limited.   Applications typically open October 1 of the year prior to the year the aid will be available for use.  TVCC's school code is 003572.  Please use the categories menu towards the bottom of this page to explore the Financial Aid Office.
