Financial Aid
Big changes are coming to the FAFSA for the 2024-2025 aid year. Learn more here.
At VSU we understand that many students require financial aid to achieve their dream of attending. For that reason, we have a system in place to make sure our students are aware of potential HBCU financial aid opportunities, as well as the procedures to apply for that aid.
Please check your VSU email and Banner Self-Service Account frequently for financial aid updates.
