2023-2024 Application is available November 15, 2022
Deadline is February 1, 2023
FASFA Required
If you have not applied for the FAFSA by February 1, 2023 and want to apply for a TGKVF Scholarship, you may upload a separate sheet of paper ( in place of the original FAFSA report), indicating that you will be applying for the FAFSA and will send the FAFSA report to shoover@tgkvf.org as soon as you receive it.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON FAFSA
In order to be considered for TGKVF scholarships, you must first complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at fafsa.gov.*
*Students who are unable to complete the FAFSA (such as non-citizens or international students) can still apply through for a TGKVF scholarship with their tax filing.
Need help or more information on how to fill out the FAFSA? Visit TGKVF’s Student Resource Page or contact the College Foundation of West Virginia
