Scholarship Application

BEFORE you apply for scholarships:

  • Students applying for a need-based scholarship must file a completed 2024-2025 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (https://fafsa.ed.gov/) (FAFSA) by the deadline-with signatures, before the application deadline. International Students will file an Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) Calculator (https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/pay-for-college/paying-your-share/expected-family-contribution-calculator)  in lieu of a FAFSA with the same deadline.
  • Update Hokie-Spa and major(s)/minor(s) and expected graduation date to reflect current information.
