Hear from one of our students.
“Every day I am reminded of how grateful I am for my time at CVCC. It’s hard being at the start of your career journey and not knowing what path is meant for you. When I joined the advertising and graphic design program, everything felt so right, like I finally found my passion and the path I was meant to pursue in life. The instructors I had changed my life, and I will forever be grateful to the support and encouragement they gave me.”
– Brigid Schnaue, CVCC Alumna & Current Graphic Designer at Walt Disney World (from Fall ‘22 SOAR Magazine, Pg. 60)
Pay a fraction of the price
of four-year schools.
At Catawba Valley Community College, we believe that a quality education is life changing. We also believe that it shouldn’t cost a fortune. That’s why you pay less — considerably less — than you would at a four-year school. In fact, many students at CVCC pay nothing at all thanks to scholarships and grants. To find out what you qualify for, first complete the FAFSA form. It opens the doors to federal financial aid. CVCC also offers:
-
$9,230 in Annual Savings:
By going to community college vs. a public four-year in-state university, CVCC saves you on average almost $10,000 a year on tuition. -
State and Local Scholarships:
Start researching scholarships early, meet deadlines and you may be on your way to scholarship success. -
Forgivable Education Loans for Service:
The Forgivable Education Loans for Service provides financial assistance to qualified students enrolled in an approved education program and committed to working in critical employment shortage professions in North Carolina. -
Payment Plans:
Pay tuition in monthly installments with our CVCC payment plan. There are no interest or finance charges assessed, and there is no credit check.
Flexibility for Your Busy Life
At CVCC, you can take classes according to your schedule. We offer traditional in-person classes, online classes, and hybrid options. To finish more quickly, we offer accelerated 16-, 12-, 8- and 4-week short-term programs that start at varying times through the year. CVCC offers 14 degrees that are fully online, plus a number of diplomas and certificates also available online.
