Virginia Tuition Assistance Grant (VTAG)

The Virginia Tuition Assistance Grant (VTAG), funded by the Commonwealth of Virginia, provides grant assistance to degree-seeking undergraduate students who are bona fide Virginia residents and who enroll full-time during the regular academic year. (Full-time status is 3.5 units per term for undergraduate students; 12 credit hours per term for SCS undergraduate students.)

The estimated amount for the 2009–2010 school year is $3,000 for undergraduate students.

The VTAG application for the 2009–2010 academic year must be submitted to the Financial Aid Office by July 31, 2009. VTAG applications may be submitted after the deadline but will only be considered if funding is available for late applications. Only students not currently receiving VTAG need to submit an application.

VTAG is not available to School of Continuing Studies students enrolled in certificate programs. Effective fall 2009, VTAG is not available to law and graduate students unless they received VTAG during the previous school year.
