NWTC’s School Code is 005301.
The application is available October 1st of each year. Students will report income and tax information from an earlier tax year.
As a general rule, the Financial Aid Office awards financial aid to students on a weekly basis beginning in spring and continuously throughout the academic year. Since some aid programs have limited funding, and to ensure full consideration of all the various aid programs, NWTC has a priority date of March 15. The priority date is not a deadline. The Financial Aid Office recommends that you complete your FAFSA application and submit all requested documentation by this date. A completed aid application does not, however, guarantee that all aid programs will be offered to you.
Please note, to be eligible for financial aid you will need to be accepted into a degree program.
Beginning May 2015, the Department of Education replaced the FSA PIN with the FSA ID. This 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 same gender parents were legally married in a domestic or foreign jurisdiction that recognizes the relationship as a valid marriage, this is treated the same as opposite gender parents who are married. The student must report information for both parents/step-parents in the household.
Beginning with the 2014-2015 FAFSA, if the student's legal (biological and/or adoptive) parents are not married, but live together, the student must answer FAFSA questions about both parents.
Once the FAFSA is submitted, the student should receive an email confirmation from the Department of Education. While you may receive estimated award information from the FAFSA submission, this is not an actual award; it is for informational purposes only. You can log into the FAFSA website to review your FAFSA for accuracy.
Every FAFSA with NWTC’s school code (005301) will be sent electronically to the Financial Aid Office. We will not load this information for students not accepted to a degree program at NWTC. All other students will receive an email confirmation that we have received the FAFSA.
Students who receive an email confirmation stating their FAFSA is rejected should contact the Financial Aid Office.
