Questions about the VA Ready sign up application and process for Scholars enrolled in a course at the Virginia Community College System.
What if I upload the wrong documents?
For the Sign Up Application: If you uploaded the incorrect document(s) the Student Journey Team will make a note in your account and put your Sign Up Application back in draft status so that you can upload the correct document(s). You will be notified via email (from scholars@vaready.org) if your Sign Up Application is put back […]
I didn’t finish the class I originally started, but I am now registered for a new one. Can I just fill out the Certification Form for the new class?
No. You will have to reapply (within 5 days of your new course starting) and be accepted into the VA Ready program for your new course. VA Ready can only provide you the $1000 Credential Achievement Award for the course you originally signed up for in our system.
Do I have to earn my credential or license in order to get the $1000 Credential Achievement Award?
Yes. In order to be eligible for the Credential Achievement Award, you must successfully earn your credential or license.
I didn’t apply for VA Ready at the start of my course and just earned my credential. Can I still qualify?
No. VA Ready cannot retroactively accept applications for completed courses.
Can I apply for more than one course and get more than one $1000 Credential Achievement Award?
No. At this time, individuals are only able to claim one Credential Achievement Award.

How will I know when my Sign Up Application has been approved?
