Northwestern does not discriminate against any student on the ground of race, color, national origin, sex or disability. Northwestern maintains an office, staffed by professionals, whose sole responsibility is to assist students in financing their college education. The Financial Aid Office has been able to give need-based assistance to about 86 percent of the current student body. Prospective students should not conclude that they cannot afford a Northwestern College education until they have explored all possibilities of financial aid with the Financial Aid Office. Northwestern College can give you an estimate of how much financial aid you might receive.
Most students receive help in financing their college education.
Whether you need help or not depends upon your individual circumstances, family income, savings, etc. You can estimate your situation by first totaling your financial resources and then your estimated college costs. If your expenses are greater than your resources, you probably need to apply for financial aid. Typically, payment is due in full the first week of classes each semester. This plan will be mailed to students with their award package.
