K–12 Staff Resources : Financial Aid
Financial Aid
Financial aid can be complicated and confusing, but it doesn’t have to be. At high schools around the country, applying for financial aid has become a common fall event. With financial aid becoming more complex, many high school counseling offices are in need of assistance.
Northcentral Technical College is pleased to provide high schools and their students with resources that can help navigate the process.
FAFSA Information Sessions and FAFSA Filing Workshops
Students who will be an incoming college freshman can submit the FAFSA starting on Oct. 1 of their senior year in high school. All students seeking financial aid must complete a FAFSA. Since some financial aid is provided on a first-come, first-served basis, it’s a good idea to submit the FAFSA as close to the date it opens (Oct. 1) as possible.
FAFSA Nights Events at NTC
FAFSA Nights at NTC are events designated to assist current high school seniors, prospective college students, and current college students with completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Navigating the world of financial aid can be confusing; therefore, NTC’s financial aid staff will be available to answer your questions and assist you with completing the FAFSA.
