Virginia residents who plan to attend Ferrum College may be eligible for a grant from the Commonwealth of Virginia that is not based on financial need. The program was established to assist Virginia’s private colleges in reducing the tuition gap between private and public in-state colleges. Grant funding is determined by the General Assembly, and amounts reflected on the student award letter are estimated and not guaranteed. For the academic year 2023-2024, the estimated grant amount is $5,000. Applications are available from the college in the spring of each year. The completed application must be returned to the Office of Financial Aid by July 31. Late VTAG applications may be submitted, but awards for late applicants are contingent on available funds remaining after the July 31 applicants are funded. Students may receive VTAG funds for a maximum of eight semesters (undergraduate). Renewability is based on Virginia residency each academic year and full-time enrollment.
