The Virginia Commonwealth Award aims to support undergraduate students with financial needs and graduate students to pay part of their college costs. Undergraduate students must be admitted into a Virginia public two or four-year college or university, be enrolled at least half-time in an approved degree, certificate, or diploma program, and comply with federal Selective Service registration requirements. Graduate students must be enrolled full-time in an approved graduate degree program at a participating public Virginia college or university, meet requirements established by the granting institution, and comply with federal Selective Service registration requirements. Please contact the financial aid office at the college you plan to attend for application procedures and deadlines.
