Financial Aid

It is suggested that you complete your financial aid request prior to the financial aid priority deadline – the deadline, forms and additional information are posted at http://valenciacc.edu/finaid . If you have questions regarding the financial aid process, please visit the Answer Center or call Nelnet College Planning telephone counselors toll free at 1-866-866-7372. You can still apply for financial aid after the deadline, but are not guaranteed to receive aid in time to pay for classes.

• Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ .  Allow at least 6 weeks for your application to be processed. Valencia's school code is 006750.
• Be sure to mark the degree you will be seeking on the admissions application. To receive financial aid, you must seek an Associate in Arts (A.A.); an Associate in Science (A.S.) or Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree or one of the job training certificate programs approved for financial aid.
• Request that your official final high school and/or official college transcript(s) be sent to Valencia. You will be classified as a non-degree seeking student until your official final transcript(s) are received.

First time in college students: request your official final high school transcripts or proof of your GED.
Transfer students: request official copies of transcripts from all colleges that you ever attended. It is suggested that you also have your final high school transcripts or proof of your GED sent to Valencia.
