The deadline for applications is fast approaching, and there are only 10 spots remaining for the upcoming semester in Virginia Wesleyan University’s Coastal Advantage Program, which offers prospective students a tremendous opportunity to attend college for next to nothing. Those interested are encouraged to act swiftly to seize this chance to earn a degree from Coastal Virginia’s premier university of the liberal arts and sciences.
Launched last year, the Coastal Advantage Program has made waves for its groundbreaking approach to addressing college affordability. The program virtually eliminates tuition for qualified commuter students from families with household incomes under $60,000, making higher education accessible without the financial strain of student loans.
For first-year students who qualify, Coastal Advantage covers all but $2,500 of VWU tuition. To manage the remaining cost, students can participate in VWU’s Work and Learn Program or apply for various financial aid options, which can also cover university fees. This comprehensive support ensures that students can focus on their education without financial stress.
Students accepted into the Coastal Advantage Program can remain in the program until graduation, provided they maintain good academic standing and continue to meet the financial and commuting qualifications. This long-term support underscores VWU’s commitment to student success and financial stability throughout their college journey.
The application deadline is just days away, and with only 10 spots left, interested students should act now. Don’t miss out on the chance to join a program that can redefine your future by providing a top-tier education without the financial burden.
For more information about the Coastal Advantage Program and to apply, visit VWU’s website. Prospective students can also contact the VWU Admissions Office at (757) 455-3208 or email admissions@vwu.edu for personalized assistance and inquiries.
