Applying for Federal Aid

FAFSA BANNER

The 2022-2023 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available now for students planning to attend Northeastern State University for the next academic school year starting Fall 2022. Go to the FAFSA application

Students and parents can now complete the FAFSA form using the myStudentAid app. The app may be downloaded in the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).

GETTING STARTED

Step 1 Gather Materials

  • Social Security Card
  • Driver's License
  • W-2s and tax returns
  • Bank Statements
  • If considered a dependent student for Federal Aid purposes, you will also need your parents information

Students are considered dependent if they do not meet any of the following criteria:

  • 24 years of age or older
  • Married
  • Have dependents, whom you provide more than half of their support
  • Released from active duty by military with an honorable discharge
  • At any time after the age of 13 either both biological parents were deceased, you were in foster care, or were a ward of the court
  • You are or were an emancipated minor as determined by a court in your state of legal residence
  • You were under legal guardianship, as determined by a court in your state of legal residence, when you turned 18
  • At any time after July 1, 2021 (for aid year 2022-2023), you were determined to be homeless by your school district, homeless liaison, director of emergency shelter, or director of runaway or homeless center
  • Graduate Student

Step 2 Get FSA ID

  • Create FSA ID to sign up
  • Save your FSA ID to use each year
  • Parents of dependent students also need a FSA ID

The FSA ID will be used each year you apply for FAFSA and to log in to web sites such as studentloans.gov to complete loan documents. Remember to keep this information in a secure place. We recommend using an email address that you will always have access to such as a personal email account when signing up for your FSA ID.

Step 3 Fill out the FAFSA

  • Apply for the FAFSA online or by using myStudentAid mobile app
  • NSU's school code is 003161
  • Use the IRS data retrieval tool if possible

Fill out your FAFSA as early as possible on or after October 1st for the upcoming academic year, starting with the fall term. Complete the 2022-2023 FAFSA if you are attending Fall 2022, Spring 2023, or Summer 2023. Complete the 2023-2024 FAFSA if you are attending Fall 2023, Spring 2024, or Summer 2024.
