The Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center is an off-campus learning facility primarily for adult students. Multiple public and private institutions of higher education offer degree programs, certificates, and professional development classes.
On-site college representatives are based at the Higher Education Center. They provide career coaching, advising, and financial aid information as well as liaison support between faculty, students, and Higher Ed staff. While the Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center does not offer a Financial Aid office, our partner institutions can help. Please contact your college or university site director for assistance, check with their financial aid office, or visit their individual website for more information. Completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is usually required.
