Summer hours (June 11- August 31) we are available Monday through Thursday between 8:00 am and 6:30 pm.
When will I find out if I get financial aid?
Financial aid applications are evaluated and reviewed according to Expected Family Contribution and the date your file is completed within the award cycles listed below. By completing the application process before the end of the award cycle date, you will have your eligibility determined before the start of the quarter. You will receive full funding consideration for the 2007-2008 school year if you mail your FAFSA before March 1, 2007.
Do I have to be enrolled full-time to get financial aid?
You do not need to be enrolled in 12 or more credits (full-time) to receive financial aid. If you enroll in 9 - 11 credits (3/4 time) you will receive approximately 75% of your grant. If you enroll in 6 - 8 credits (1/2 time) you will receive approximately 50% of your grant. If you enroll in less than 6 credits you may be eligible to receive a very small amount of your grant.
Can I transfer my financial aid?
You cannot automatically transfer your financial aid from one school to another. You must complete the application process at the college or university that you plan to attend. You should contact the school that you are transferring to and find out about their application process. If you will be transferring from another school to SVC, contact us at (360) 416-7666.
Can I get financial aid for Summer Quarter?
Yes, you can get financial aid for the summer quarter. Financial aid is available to students after July 15, 2007, so remember to make arrangements with registration to defer your tuition until then. You must also come up with your own book money.
