Printer-friendly version

Complete the checklist below if you wish to apply for the following financial aid options: federal and state grants, federal loans, and/or the Federal Work Study Program.

One

Apply for Admission

You must be accepted into a financial aid eligible program at NTC to receive aid.  You can complete the admissions application at anytime, however, your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will not be processed until you are accepted into a financial aid eligible program and enrolled in classes.

 

You may proceed to Step 2 while your Admissions application is in progress. 

 

Two

Apply for Financial Aid

The most important step in finding out if you are eligible to receive financial aid is to fill out the FAFSA. Many students who could receive financial assistance to attend college miss this opportunity because they don't complete the FAFSA.

  • View Steps to Submit FAFSA

  • Review the Student Aid Report (SAR) that you will receive from the Department of Education after you submit your FAFSA.

 

Three

Complete Documentation

Your next step is to receive a letter from the NTC Financial Aid Office requesting information required to determine the financial aid you are eligible to receive.

  • The Financial Aid Office may request that you complete one or more forms. Before you can receive your aid, you must return all forms or documents requested by the Financial Aid Office.

  • Many students choose to defer (delay) payment of tuition and fees until their financial aid is awarded. Please check your my>NTC periodically for an update on your financial aid award.

 

Four

Receive Award Letter

Your next step is to receive an award letter from NTC via your NTC email account once you are accepted into an eligible program and enrolled in classes.  Your award letter will contain information about your financial aid for the school year.  Depending on your eligibility, you may receive an aid package that contains a combination of grants, scholarships, work study and loans.

 

Depending on the type of aid you are receiving, there are different next steps. View information on:
