Award Letter - What's next? 

Award Letter

An Award Letter (pdf) is processed shortly after the student's financial aid file is considered complete:

• the Student Aid Report (SAR) is accurate
• if required, verification process has been completed
  
• applied to FVTC and have been accepted into a fundable program

A student must be enrolled at least 1/2-time by the census date to receive financial aid funds with an exception to the PELL Grant. The three credit Nursing Assistant class does not count toward the credit load.

Award letters will show the types of financial aid and the dollar amounts based on a full-time status or actual enrollment after the census date. Any scholarships or other agency funding the student is scheduled to receive will also show on the award letter.
