Information for Virginia Domiciled Students for 2024-25
This information is for students with DACA status and for those who are otherwise not eligible to complete the FAFSA. This information applies only to students who have been approved by the Office of Virginia Status at UVA of having a Virginia domicile or who meet the Tuition Equity provision.
Virginia-domiciled students or those who meet the Tuition Equity provision with either DACA or undocumented status could be eligible for both State and University financial aid by following the steps below.
The first step is to complete the VASA application form provided by the State Council on Higher Education in Virginia (SCHEV). Complete eligibility requirements can be found on the application form. Follow this link for instructions on how to create a VASA Student Account through SCHEV.
After you complete the SCHEV application form, we'll receive and review it. Based on what you submit, we may ask you to submit additional documents by uploading them through the To Do List within your UVA Student Information System portal. This is consistent to how we conduct a first-time eligibility review of applicants who complete the FAFSA.
In general, after submitting the VASA, you should be prepared to submit the following documents:
- A signed copy of the PARENT(S)’ 2022 federal tax return and all schedules, or their foreign tax return (in English with currency notated). If the parent(s) were not required to file a 2022 federal tax return, the parent(s) must complete the 2024-2025 Parent Non-Tax Filer Form. You may be asked to submit an IRS Tax Return Transcript or IRS Statement of Non-Tax Filing Status for 2022, as well.
- A copy of all PARENT(S)’ 2022 W-2 form(s) and/or 1099 forms.
- A signed copy of the STUDENT’S 2021 federal tax return and all schedules. If you were not required to file a 2022 federal tax return, you must complete the 2024-2025 Student Non-Tax Filer Form. You may be asked to submit an IRS Tax Return Transcript or IRS Statement of Non-Tax Filing Status for 2022, as well.
