- Financial Assistance


Many families mistakenly assume they cannot afford a private college. It is generally true that families will need to plan ahead to finance higher education. However, our financial assistance program is designed to make it possible for all students to attend BVU. Let us show you how BVU can become the best investment you'll ever make!
At Buena Vista University, we are committed to providing the highest quality education at an affordable price. Over 99 percent of our students receive financial assistance. New students, take a look at our easy-to-use Scholarship/Net Price Calculator and we'll provide you with your expected eligibility for scholarships, grants and other forms of financial aid!
If you are considering applying for financial assistance, we want to notify you of a change in the FAFSA process. Unchanged is the opportunity for families to complete the FAFSA for the new school year as of Jan. 1, 2013, if interested in receiving financial aid for college. However, we would encourage you/your parents to complete your tax return early and before you complete the FAFSA. Read more...
