Fund Your Degree
Ensuring the right support for our student-scholars
Explore ways to help you fund your education including graduate assistantships, scholarships, financial aid and other funding sources detailed below.
Assistantships
We offer graduate assistant positions that cover tuition and offer a stipend. Graduate assistants must be full-time students who are in good academic standing.
Scholarships
We award more than $2 million annually in scholarships to current students. Our scholarship awards are established by alumni, individuals and organizations, and recognize factors such as financial need, academic achievement, service and leadership. These scholarships are a form of financial aid that does not need to be repaid.
Financial Aid
The VCU Student Financial Services team is available to support you through the process of applying for financial aid and budgeting for your education. Estimate your tuition, connect with a peer money coach or learn more about financial aid and expense planning.
Travel
We offer several means of funding for student travel to destinations outside of VCU for academic and research activities, such as making presentations and attending conferences and seminars.
