Financial Aid That Works for You

Finding the right type of Financial Aid sounds confusing. But, at NOVA, it doesn't have to be.

We have a wide range of financial aid options available: scholarships, grants, loans and work-study opportunities that help alleviate the stress of college tuition. It’s enough to worry about your studies, without the additional burden of worrying how you’re going to afford tuition.

[Note: For most financial aid options, you will need to complete a FAFSA to confirm your eligibility.]

Loans

Loans are money that you or your parents borrow and repay with interest. Education loans can be offered at lower interest rates with various repayment terms. Some loans require a demonstration of need; others do not.

Scholarships

Scholarships are awards that do not have to be paid back and are based on student performance and talent. Some scholarships consider financial need when determining eligibility.
