Paying for College

Get the financial aid you need to invest in your future.

IVC offers a full array of financial aid programs -- grants, work study, scholarships, and fee waivers – that are available to both full and part-time students who are seeking a degree or certificate.

Step 1: Complete the FAFSA orDream Act Application Step 2: Complete/Review Financial Aid Requirements Step 3: Be Patient and Check WebSTAR for Financial Aid Status
