Office of Financial Aid

Since 1954, UVa-Wise has been dedicated to providing its students with a quality liberal arts education at an affordable price. As a state-supported school, the College offers a distinct educational value in the scenic mountains of Southwest Virginia.

A college education is one of the most important investments you will ever make. If you are like most students, you may have some concerns about paying for that education. At UVa-Wise, we are here to help you make that college education attainable no matter what your family income happens to be. This section of our Web site is designed to explain the financial aid opportunities available to you. There are many sources—federal, state, institutional, and private—that can supplement the contributions you can make. Such assistance can help cover your costs for tuition, room and board, supplies, transportation, and personal expenses.

More than 70 percent of our students qualify for some form of financial assistance. Once you have applied for financial aid, the Office of Financial Aid will be able to begin helping you find the financial assistance or other payment options you need to obtain the education you desire.

The process of applying for financial aid can sometimes be confusing, so you may have questions along the way. If you do, please contact us so that we may help you with the answers. If you are on campus, the Office of Financial Aid Services can be found in Bowers-Sturgill Hall, Room 101.
