Wytheville Community College (WCC) has multiple financial aid and scholarship opportunities for students to attend WCC for little or no cost. WCC offers tuition-free "promise" scholarships for recent graduates from each high school in WCC’s service region including the counties of Wythe, Bland, Carroll, Grayson, and Smyth (Marion and Eastward), as well as Galax City. These “last dollar” scholarships cover tuition and fees after all other scholarships, financial aid, and grants are awarded. Promise programs do not cover textbooks or textbook fees.  

WCC has three promise programs that provide full tuition and fees not related to textbooks for those qualified students who have recently graduated from high school.
