Financial Aid Prep: Checklist for Prospective Undergraduates
Review all financial aid awards, including grants, scholarships, and loans offered to you.
Take necessary actions for each offer. Some scholarships may require you to accept specific terms and conditions. For loans, you must choose to Accept, Decline, or Modify (Modify allows you to accept a reduced amount instead of the full amount).
Click the Submit button at the bottom of the page to finalize your selections.
Review the Covering the Gap website to help make decisions on how to cover any remaining balance beyond the financial aid you've already received.
Submit your $400 enrollment deposit through your Applicant Portal by the date on your offer letter.
If the enrollment deposit is a burden to you or your family, please contact the Admissions Office to see if you are eligible for a reduction or waiver based on your FAFSA.
Once your enrollment deposit is processed and you are listed as accepting your offer, you will receive an email from admissions@vt.edu with instructions for creating your VT Username and email. This will occur 24-48 hours after submitting a payment.
You will use your Applicant Portal credentials to log in to the link provided in the email and create your VT Username and email.
If you do not receive the email within 48 hours or encounter issues after following the instructions, please reach out to us at admissions@vt.edu.
