Eligibility
Financial aid eligibility begins with an assessment of a family’s ability to contribute to the cost of education. Based on information provided on the FAFSA or CADAA, the Student Aid Index (SAI) is calculated. This amount determines eligibility for financial aid. The FAFSA is to be completed by students who are US Citizen or eligible non-citizens. The CADAA is to be completed by students who are AB540 Eligible Dreamer or DACA. AB540 Eligible Dreamer or DACA are not eligible for Federal Title IV financial aid; they will be considered for state financial aid.
The FAFSA is processed by the U.S. Department of Education. The CADAA is processed by the California Student Aid Commission. The FAFSA Processing System (FPS) uses data provided by the applicant and contributors on the FAFSA form to determine Max or Min Pell Gran eligibility and calculate the Student Aid Index (SAI). The SAI formulas use income, assets, and the number of persons in the family size for the award year.
If you and/or your family have special circumstances such as significant loss of income or expenses that may affect your financial aid eligibility, please contact the Financial Aid Office to inquire about the process to file a Special Circumstances for an Income Adjustment. If you are a dependent student but have unusual circumstances as to why you cannot provide your parental information on the FAFSA, please contact the Financial Aid office to inquire about the process to file an Unusual Circumstance for Dependency Override.
In determining eligibility, students may be asked to provide additional documents such as high school transcript, Federal Tax Return or IRS Tax Return transcripts, untaxed income verification, etc.
Students enrolling in a program of study abroad approved for credit at NVC may be eligible for financial aid. Students are encouraged to contact the Financial Aid Office early in their planning process.
In order to qualify for Federal financial aid, students must:
- Be a regular student enrolled in a financial aid eligible program leading to a degree or certificate;
- Be in good academic standing;
- Demonstrate financial need;
- Be a U.S. citizen, or eligible non-citizen;
- Not be in default on any loan or owe a repayment on any grant made under any Title IV program;
- Have a Social Security number; and
- Have a high school diploma or recognized equivalent.
State financial aid including the CalGrant, Student Success Completion Grant, California College Promise Grant (CCPG) and the NVC Promise Program are available to students who meet the AB 540 criteria. More information is available in the Financial Aid web page.

Awards
Priority for financial aid funding is given to students who demonstrate the highest need. Applications will be accepted throughout the academic year, and awards will be made throughout the year as long as funds are available.
Financial Aid Disbursement
The Federal Pell Grant is disbursed twice each semester. Federal SEOG, EOPS Grant, CARE Grant, Cal Grant B, Cal Grant C, SSCG and other grants are disbursed once each semester. Federal Direct Loans are disbursed in two payments during the eligible loan enrollment period. Loan payment dates vary by individual borrower eligibility and may require supplemental documentation prior to each disbursement. Financial aid refunds are processed on regularly scheduled payment dates throughout the academic year. For more information see Important Payment Information on the Financial Aid web page.
Students may choose one of two ways to receive their grant and loan funds:
- Electronically deposited to a student's personal Bank account.

Federal and District Work Study checks are issued at the end of each month, based on the number of hours worked during the pay period, and are direct deposited into the student’s bank account (if applicable) or mailed to students.
Repayment Regulations
Students who receive financial aid payments are subject to repayment rules as outlined by the federal government. A student who withdraws, drops out, or receives all failing grades (F, NC, NP, W) at the end of the term may be required to repay all or part of any financial aid funds received
Students who owe a repayment of financial aid funds will be ineligible to receive additional aid at this or any college until the student makes satisfactory arrangements for repayment. Students may have their repayment reduced or canceled if they attend an academic related activity or re-enroll and complete at least 1.0 unit during the term from which they withdrew. Students who owe a repayment of federal financial aid will be referred to the Department of Education for collection. Contact the Financial Aid/EOPS Office for more information.
Financial Aid for Non-Standard or Clock Hour Programs
A “non-standard program” for financial aid purposes is a program with courses that extend over more than one semester or programs that must be measured in clock hours for Federal/ State approval or licensure. If enrolled in a non-standard program, financial aid will be prorated based on the length of the program and the number of units or hours earned. Financial aid disbursements for non-standard programs may be paid at different intervals than payments for semester-based, credit programs. Students attending non-standard programs may be required to verify attendance and the number of hours and weeks completed in the program prior to receiving financial aid payments. Contact the Financial Aid/EOPS Office at (707) 256-7301 for more information.
The following financial aid eligible programs have been identified as “non-standard” at NVC:

Loan applications are available in September of the fall semester with an application deadline in April. Additional Direct Loan information is available at the Financial Aid/EOPS Office or online.
Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress
The complete Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy is available in the Financial Aid/EOPS Office and on their website.
Each recipient of Financial Aid at Napa Valley College (NVC) must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress in order to remain eligible for aid. Financial Aid refers to all federal, state, and local funds administered by the Financial Aid/EOPS Office. Satisfactory Academic Progress means the completion of the minimum number of units required by federal, state, and local guidelines, a 2.0 GPA, and progress towards completing an eligible degree or certificate.
It is the responsibility of all financial aid recipients to understand the terms and conditions of the NVC Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy in order to maintain their eligibility to receive aid.
Three standards are used for the assessment of Satisfactory Academic Progress:
- GPA, or required minimum grade point average. Students are required to maintain a 2.0 minimum cumulative GPA. The GPA will include all aided and unaided terms at NVC.
- Pace, or required minimum completion rate. The minimum pace rate is 67% of all cumulative units attempted. Pace is the rate at which a student completes requirements for their educational goal and is calculated by dividing the number of cumulative units completed by the number of cumulative units attempted. Remedial and ESL units do count when calculating Pace for SAP.
- Timeframe, or maximum number of attempted units the student is allowed to reach his/her educational objective. The maximum timeframe is 150% of the published length of the student’s declared program. Timeframe includes transfer units and all aided and unaided terms of attendance. Students pursuing an AA/AS degree or transfer program are expected to complete their academic program at the end of 90 units. Students enrolled in a Certificate program are expected to complete their academic program in the equivalent of 150% of the published units required for completion.
A recipient may be required to repay all or part of the funds received if he/she withdraws from all units during a semester or completes all units with “F,” “NP,” “I,” and/or “W” grades. If this occurs, the student may be required to repay all or part of the funds received. Students who have a cumulative GPA of less than a 2.0, pace rate below 67%, or who have exceeded the allowable timeframe may be disqualified from Financial Aid.
Students experiencing academic difficulties are encouraged to use the college’s support services to maintain satisfactory academic progress and to remain in good standing. Students who fail to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress standards may have their aid disqualified. Documented extenuating circumstances that adversely affect academic performance (e.g., illness, family problems) will be considered through an appeal process.
Financial aid may be denied for any one of the following reasons:
- Student fails to meet SAP standards;
- Student has already completed an AA/AS degree, vocational certificate, BA/BS degree or higher, or 90 semester units;
- Student cannot mathematically finish the declared program of study with the required cumulative GPA and pace within the allotted timeframe;
- Student has already received 6 or more full-time equivalent years of Federal Pell Grant;
- Student changes major multiple times;
- Students on NVC dismissal (no appeal while on dismissal).
Students in the above categories will be required to submit a financial aid appeal to be considered for financial aid at NVC. The appeal process requires that academic transcripts from all prior schools be on file in the Admissions and Records Office and evaluated for educational plan development. All appeal decisions are final and incontestable.
VETERANS BENEFITS
Veterans Services provides student support services to all NVC veteran students and veterans dependents. Program services are organized around two key areas:
- One-on-one academic counseling for veterans that includes academic and university transfer advisement, career and goal planning, and guidance on balancing academic and personal life.
- Benefits advising for veterans, reservists, guard, and dependents of veterans on completing and filing VA claim forms for federal and state education assistance programs, including assistance with special procedures for veterans’ priority registration and dependents’ CalVet College Fee Waiver program.
Various federal and state agencies determine eligibility for veterans benefits for both student veterans and veterans' dependents. Students who intend to use VA educational benefits must contact the Veterans Services Office each semester to complete all necessary forms. It may take the VA four to eight weeks to process the documents for benefits, and students should plan accordingly. Those seeking four-year degrees are advised to keep track of their entitlement and anticipate any funding limitations.
Attendance - Federal regulation states that students using Veterans Affairs (VA) education benefits must follow the certifying institution’s attendance policy. See sections of the catalog regarding NVC attendance requirements for details. Students not following the set attendance policy will become ineligible to receive full or partial VA benefits for the semester in question.
Verification of Continued Enrollment – Students who are using their Veterans Education benefits may be required to verify attendance with the Veterans Administration each month for continuation of benefits throughout the semester. Contact Veterans Services for more information.
Veterans Satisfactory Academic Progress - Federal regulations state that NVC is required to report a termination of Veterans Affairs benefits for any veteran or eligible person who is subject to dismissal. See sections of the catalog regarding college probation and dismissal for details. Payment of educational assistance allowance to a student terminated for unsatisfactory progress may resume at NVC once the student has been reinstated after dismissal.
OTHER AID AND BENEFITS
Scholarships
Scholarships ranging from $500 to $5,000, are awarded each year to students through an online application process overseen by the NVC Office of Financial Aid in partnership with the Napa Valley College Foundation.
