Many families mistakenly assume they cannot afford a private university like BVU. It is generally true that families will need to plan ahead to finance higher education. However, our aid program is designed to make it possible for all students... regardless of whether they attend our campus in Storm Lake, one of the many Graduate & Professional Studies sites, or in our graduate program. Let us show you how BVU can become the best investment you'll ever make!
We wanted to take some time to notify you of a change in the FAFSA process for the 2012-13 school year.

However, we would encourage you/your parents to complete your tax return early and before you complete the FAFSA. Read more...
