Welcome!

At NSU, we believe that education is a lifetime investment. The Office of Student Financial Assistance has a variety of financial resources available to students. We strive to provide the best information on how to apply for financial aid, types of aid available, and other relevant information.

You may now apply for financial aid for the 2008-2009 academic year. The best way to apply is online through FAFSA on the Web. A PIN can now be issued in real time from the PIN Web site or FAFSA on the Web before a successful match with the Social Security Administration has occurred, enabling an applicant (and his/her parents if dependent) to immediately sign an original 2008-2009 FAFSA.
