Federal & State Aid

Types of Aid

There are several types of financial aid available to CCV students including:

• Federal Pell Grants
• Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants (SEOG)
• Federal College Work-study Program (CWSP)
• Vermont Student Assistance Corporation Incentive Grants (VSAC)
• Federal Family Loan Programs: Stafford (GSL), Parent (PLUS), Supplemental (SLS), or Unsubsidized Stafford Loans

All financial aid programs have specific eligibility requirements, application forms, and deadlines. Complete information about financial aid is available in the Student Handbook and from financial aid counselors at each CCV site office.

CCV provides assistance in applying for federal and state financial aid. In doing so, the College complies with all appropriate federal and state regulations pertaining to financial aid. Students who apply for and receive state or federal financial aid assume responsibility for complying with all requirements and regulations.

Students are encouraged to minimize their use of federal and alternative student loans. Federal loans offer lower interest rates and better terms than alternative loans. If you think you need a student loan, please discuss this with your site financial aid coordinator.

Students may request a federal or alternative loan from any student loan provider. CCV has compiled a list of suggested lenders and things you should consider when making your selection. See About Student Loans for this information.
