NATCHITOCHES – Northwestern State University’s Office of Student Financial Aid is working to make NSU students, prospective students and parents aware of available financial aid to help pay for college as part of Financial Aid Awareness Month in February.
According to NSU Director of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships Lauren Jackson, the 2023-24 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available at https://studentaid.gov. This form must be completed to determine eligibility for grants, work-study, student loans and Louisiana’s Tuition Opportunity Program for Students (TOPS).
Jackson said the financial aid priority deadline for the 2023-24 school year is May 1. Students and prospective students who meet the deadline will be in a position to get the best possible financial aid package. According to Jackson, Northwestern State offers generous financial aid packages, and more than 80 percent of Northwestern State students receive some type of financial aid. She said financial aid staff will work with students, prospective students and parents to help them understand available options.
