PVCC4U: Financial Assistance for your Upcoming Semesters

PVCC4U is a program offered by the college to aid students financially. The program covers tuition and fees for students who qualify. Applications are available as the college prepares for the spring semester of 2023. Financial aid advisor Sherry Dudley encourages students to take advantage of this program. “Apply even if you question your eligibility,” said Dudley. “You don’t know until you do.”

PVCC4U assistance will distribute funds each semester to qualifying students until the end of the fall semester of 2024. Student eligibility can only be determined after a FAFSA application is completed. 

In order to be eligible for the program, students must meet a set of criteria. A student may not have a family income above $100,000 or must have been laid off from their occupation due to COVID-19. Students must be enrolled in six or more credit hours and be signed up for a degree or certificate program. Dual-enrolled high school students and out-of-state students are not eligible for this program. 

Students who wish to receive PVCC4U assistance must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0. Students enrolled in the 2022 fall semester must have successfully completed a minimum of 75% of Fall credits attempted. For newly enrolled students in Spring 2023, an advisor will inform them of relevant requirements. To begin the process of receiving PVCC4U assistance, students must first fill out the PVCC application form. Once you have completed the application, an enrollment coach will take you through the next steps, including all financial assistance options available to you, even if you are not eligible for this program. Students can contact the financial aid office by email for additional questions and assistance.
