State-level office of financial aid
The Division of Financial Aid, housed within the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission and West Virginia Community and Technical College System, coordinates financial aid workshops across West Virginia.
Representatives from the division are happy to present at your workshop or to assist you in booking a local expert. Regardless of whether or not we’re presenting, please notify our staff of any workshops you schedule so that we can add your event to our statewide calendar.
