Advice for Students Who Receive Financial Aid from the University of Virginia

Please note that if you are a UVA student who receives financial aid, any award you win could impact your financial aid package (unless you are incorporated and plan to receive the award through that entity). If you plan to compete in one or more of these competitions, and you receive financial aid, please speak to your school’s financial aid adviser, prior to the competition.
