Virginia Guaranteed Assistance Program

Full-time undergraduate students at Virginia public two- or four-year colleges or universities who are Virginia residents (or meet military dependent or Tuition Equity provisions), graduated from a Virginia high school or completed a qualifying home-school program (GED graduates are not eligible), have at least a 2.5 high school GPA on a 4.0 scale, and demonstrate financial need. Home-schooled applicants need an SAT combined score of at least 980 or an ACT Composite of 19. Selective Service compliance is required where applicable.

For the neediest students, the maximum award covers tuition, required fees, and a book allowance. Awards are proportional to need and renewable for up to three additional years with continued full-time enrollment, residency, need, a minimum 2.0 college GPA, and annual class-level advancement.

There is no separate application. Complete the FAFSA or VASA by your institution's published deadline and follow your campus financial aid office's procedures.
