7 Steps to Receiving Financial Aid
These are the steps in the financial aid process at Napa Valley College:
- You complete the FAFSA, being sure to include NVC school code(001247) on the application.
- You receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) in the mail or electronically if you include your email address.
- NVC receives your FAFSA data from the processor electronically and determines your eligibility for a Board of Governor's Enrollment Fee Waiver (BOGW).
- NVC sends you a letter requesting needed documents to determine your eligibility for aid other than the BOGW. Required documents are also listed on WebAdvisor under Communications, My Documents.
- You return the requested documents to the NVC Financial Aid/EOPS Office.
- NVC processes the documents and mails you a notice of eligibility (average document processing time is 10-12 weeks during peak times).
