The WVC Foundation offers a roll-over scholarship application through each academic year.
Example: Fall applications that are not selected for an award during the fall quarter scholarship cycle will automatically roll-over to be considered during the winter and spring quarter cycles. You do not need to submit a new application every cycle, just once per academic year.
Applicants will receive notifications six to eight weeks after the quarterly deadline. Notifications will be sent to the email listed on your application. Scholarships are awarded for one academic year.
Once you have received a scholarship during the current academic year, you do not need to apply again until the following academic year.
By filling out the WVC Foundation scholarship application, you will be considered for all available scholarships. Our online scholarship application will automatically match you to all scholarships that you may be eligible for.
Our scholarship award amounts vary, based on available annual funding and through reviewing each student’s unmet cost of attendance, as determined by the Financial Aid office.
If awarded, you will be asked to submit a follow-up form through AwardSpring. These follow-up forms are important to our process as they confirm acceptance and also keep our generous scholarship donors informed.
All current and incoming WVC students including adult learners, part-time students and DREAMers are eligible to apply. There are scholarships for every area of study.
A full list of scholarships can be seen here.
Many of our scholarships are renewable. This means students can receive a scholarship for a second year. We strive to process renewable scholarship offers during the summer.
The athletic department gives athletic awards to students who are participants of WVC’s intercollegiate athletic teams. Inquiries regarding athletic scholarships should be directed to the athletic director or individual sport coach.
