Scholarships

Attending VHCC has never been more affordable, but figuring out how to pay for educational expenses can still feel stressful.  We totally get it!  

To help you be in a position to take advantage of all of the funding and support you may be eligible for, please complete the FAFSA, even if you think that your family income is too high.  Having a FAFSA on file is required not only for federal and state financial aid awards, but it is also required for VHCC Foundation scholarships (which are merit and need-based) and the Promise Programs (City of Bristol, Smyth County, Washington County).  An additional requirement for the VHCC Foundation scholarships and Promise Programs is that you must also complete a simple online VHCC Foundation Scholarship Application.
