Financial Aid

Assistance may be in the form of grants, scholarships, loans, employment or a combination of these. For a full list of resources related to Financial Aid, visit www.fvtc.edu/finaid.

Fire and Tornado Drills
Fire and Tornado drills will be conducted periodically on each campus. When the fire alarm sounds, everyone must leave the building through the nearest exit. Once outside, everyone should move away from the building and stand near the blue overhead evacuation signs posted in the parking lots. Do not reenter until directed to by authorized personnel. When an announcement for a tornado occurs, everyone must report to a shelter area in the corridors or rooms on the first floor. These areas are designated by overhead green shelter signs. Elevators should be used ONLY by disabled individuals and their assis- tants. No one is to leave the building unless directed to do so by authorized personnel.
