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.

FAFSA First

The FAFSA form applies to a single academic year. That means you need to submit a new FAFSA form each year.  At TVCC, our academic year starts in the Fall (August) and end in the Summer (July). 

Need help completing the FAFSA? Visit www.studentaid.gov , or watch this instructional video using your browser or mobile app.
 

!The deadline to complete the 21-22 FAFSA, which applies to any remaining summer semesters, is June 30. If you have not filled out the 21-22 FAFSA and are seeking federal aid for the Summer '22 semesters, do so ASAP.
