Financial Aid

The Financial Aid Office at Wenatchee Valley College is available to assist students in finding and applying for all types of financial assistance, including grants, work study opportunities, veteran benefits, scholarships and student loans.

The office is located on the first floor of Wenatchi Hall. The financial aid office hours are:  Monday Tuesday and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m, Wednesday 8 a.m. to 1p.m.  We are closed Fridays and holidays.  Evening appointments are available by request. The office phone number is 509.682.6810 and fax is 509 682 6811.  The financial aid e-mail address is: financialaid@wvc.edu.

To qualify for financial aid, students must be enrolled in an eligible degree or certificate program at Wenatchee Valley College.  

To apply for financial aid, simply complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. You will need our school code, which is 003801. Also, check out the Application Checklist for the three basic steps in applying for financial aid. You can view a video that gives assistance in completing your FAFSA at: http://www.youtube.com/user/federalstudentaid

Once you have completed the FAFSA, we will contact you by mail regarding your eligibility and status.

The finanical aid priority deadline for the 2013-2014 year is March 15, 2013. The 2013-2014 school year starts fall quarter 2013. If you miss that deadline, you may still use the FAFSA to apply for student loans and remaining grant funds.  Processing time for financial aid is usually 3-6 weeks.  Please allow sufficient time for the processing of your financial aid and tuition due dates.  During peak times, processing times may increase.

Loans, unlike grants or work study, are borrowed money that must be repaid, with interest. To apply for a loan, a student loan application must be completed and submitted to our office.  You must also have a completed FAFSA in addition to the loan worksheet.
