Start Your Fall Financial Aid Application Early! File the 2019-20 FAFSA!

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2019-2020 academic year is now available at fafsa.gov.  The U.S. Department of Education redesigned the FAFSA website to make it mobile-friendly and also introduced a new smartphone application called myStudentAid that allows you to complete the FAFSA on your phone.

File Early to Avoid Delays!

• Use NSU's Federal Code 001509 to ensure NSU receives your FAFSA information. Once your FAFSA information has been received, we will send you an email confirmation with important information on next steps.
  
  
• Use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool, when possible, to import your 2017 tax information directly from the IRS.
  
  
• Read definitions carefully. Don't rush through questions.
  
  
• Don't forget to sign your FAFSA with your FSA ID. If you are a dependent student, your parent or guardian also needs to sign your FAFSA with an FSA ID. If you are a first-time filer, create your FSA ID as soon as possible. It can take up to three days in some cases before you can use it. Your FSA ID serves as your electronic signature.
  
  
• Monitor your NSU email for updates.

For more information on filing the FAFSA, visit Federal Student Aid. NSU's FAFSA priority deadline is April 15.
