Scholarships & Financial Aid

Arvada West students considering applying for college scholarships or other financial aid have access to numerous resources.

Federal Student Aid

It's never too early – or too late – to explore your options for college or career school. Studentaid.gov lays out key steps in preparing for college and provides resources that can help along the way. Explore federal financial aid options including scholarships, grants and student loans. This site is also where students access and complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Studentaid.gov is the only source for the official FAFSA form. Other sites claiming to allow you to complete the FAFSA are fraudulent.
