Seven Steps to Financial Aid

Students must apply for financial aid each year.  The priority application period is January 1st through March 2nd for the following academic year; however, applications are available throughout the year.  It is a good idea to plan ahead as the process is lengthy.

Step 1           

Apply for financial aid using the online FAFSA.  Complete the application by selecting “Start Here/GOFURTHER-Federal Student Aid” link on the Financial Aid page at www.napavalley.edu/financialaid. 

Step 2           

Complete the Application for Admission by selecting the “Apply to NVC Online” link at www.napavalley.edu.  Be sure to provide your current mailing and email addresses.

Step 3           

Once NVC receives your application data, you will receive an email/letter requesting documents to complete the application process.

Step 4           

Check status and required documents on WebAdvisor under “Communications/My Documents”.

Step 5

Return required documents to the Financial Aid office to complete your file.  You may qualify for a fee waiver before you register.  Documents are processed on a first come, first served basis.  Submit requested documents as soon as possible.
