Scholarships

Although Valencia’s tuition is very affordable, many of our students still face financial challenges that keep them out of college:

  • The cost of books now outpaces the cost of tuition.
  • The students who most need financial assistance - those who are working full time or more than one part-time job and are just above federal guidelines - do not qualify for most grants or currently endowed scholarships.
  • Finances are still a major barrier to students enrolling and completing their education. In fact, four of the top five reasons students leave college early relate to finances.

The following are average* costs of attendance for a full-time, in-state student:

2007- 2008 school year Living with parents or relatives Living independently
Tuition ($69.69 per hour) 2,100  2,100

2008- 2009 school year: Living with parents or relatives Living independently

* It is very important to note that the average expenses are estimated based on local cost of living information for use in calculating financial aid eligibility. Individual expenses will vary based on your choice of lifestyle and living arrangements.
