may include a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and/or
campus employment, depending upon the student's need. You and your
family may be very surprised to learn just how affordable Valpo
can be!

To enhance the security of your U.S. Department of Education PIN and your personal information on the Web, there are two significant changes to the PIN process that you should be aware of.
If you already have a PIN, the first time you attempt to use it on or after December 26, 2004, you will be prompted to agree to a PIN Terms and Conditions Activation Agreement, which asks you not to share your PIN with anyone and to keep it in a safe place, and to select and answer a challenge question. Only you will know the answer to your challenge question, and it may be used to validate your identity in the future.
If you apply for a PIN on or after December 26, 2004, you will be required to agree to the terms and conditions and provide a challenge question and response before your PIN will be issued.
These changes have been made to ensure the security of the PIN process and to remind you of the importance of safeguarding your PIN. Your PIN serves as your electronic signature and provides access to your personal records, and it is critical that it remain as secure as possible.
