Financial Aid & Scholarships
Grants
Grants are need-based allotments of money from the federal government that do not have to be repaid. You鈥檒l automatically receive all your grants by completing the FAFSA.
These are the grants most often awarded to NWC students:
- Federal Pell Grant
- Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
FSEOG Grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, so complete your FAFSA early. You鈥檒l be notified of any grants you receive in your award letter.
Find out more about federal grants on the Federal Student Aid website (studentaid.gov):
Don't Lose Your Pell/FSEOG Grants
Before you drop a class, or if you receive a failing grade, make sure you aren't at risk of losing your grant due to unsatisfactory academic progress. See the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) document on the Financial Aid Policies page for more information.
Loans aren't awarded automatically
Unlike grants, which are awarded automatically through your FAFSA, you must apply for loans.
