Father's Day is approaching, and you may be feeling the pressure to find that perfect gift for your dad.  In my head, important dates are just like deadlines, so I rush around to get everything done before time is up.  That same pressure is also there when applying for financial aid.  Just like other schools, Vernon College has a priority deadline for each semester.  Although I'm pretty sure your dad will forgive you if your present is late, financial aid offices will not be as forgiving.  As a matter of fact, if you miss the priority deadline it could cost you money.  It's as simple as that.

The priority deadline for the Fall 2021 semester is Wednesday, June 23. 

To meet the financial aid priority deadline, you MUST:

     1. Have submitted a FAFSA to the federal government with the results received by VC;

     2. Have provided all documents requested by the financial aid office;

     3. Have applied for admission to VC.

If you do not complete all three steps by June 23, we can not guarantee you that we will have your financial aid file completed and awarded prior to the payment deadline.  That means you will have to pay your tuition, fees and books out of your own pocket or sign up for an installment plan that is available on My VC.  Simply completing the FAFSA by the deadline is not considered a complete file, and does not guarantee the award of financial aid funds.

So...get busy shopping for Father's Day and completing your financial aid file!  We want to provide you the financial aid support you need to afford your education and are here to help!
