To be considered for federal and state financial aid - including grants, loans, and work study - you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Complete the FAFSA each academic year. (An academic year starts in the fall and continues through spring and summer of the next year.)
Complete the FAFSA at www.fafsa.gov.
NWTC’s School Code is 005301.
Application is available October 1 of each year for the next academic year (Example: FAFSA 2020-21 application is available October 1, 2019).
You will report income and tax information from two years prior (Example: 2019-20 FAFSA will use 2017 tax information).
Complete your FAFSA early and submit all requested documentation in a timely manner.
A completed aid application does not guarantee that all aid programs will be offered to you.
To be eligible for financial aid, you need to be accepted into a degree program.
The FSA ID is a username and password must be used to log into secure Department of Education websites.
Students and parents should each apply for an ID and password before filing the FAFSA.
If no other documentation is requested, you will be notified by email about your financial aid offer. This process can take 1-2 weeks.
If you receive an email confirmation stating that your FAFSA has been rejected, contact the NWTC Financial Aid Office.
Your FAFSA may be selected for verification by the Department of Education. About 30% of applications are selected for verification. Learn more about FAFSA Verification.
