The Dominion Energy Opportunity Fund is a last-dollar forgivable loan program designed to assist students facing financial need to complete their undergraduate degree. The program is open to in-state and out-of-state students. Program eligibility requirements are as follows:

 

  • Students must be in good academic standing with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher and meet SAP standards.
  • Students must be a graduating senior on track to graduate during the semester in which the application is completed and the loan is awarded.

  • Students must demonstrate a genuine financial need as determined by the Financial Aid Office.
