After you’ve submitted your FAFSA, the Financial Aid Office at NU will receive a copy of your FAFSA application from the U.S Department of Education. An email will then be sent notifying students who are selected by the Department of Education that they are required to complete the verification process. Once all verification documents have been received, your eligibility for aid will be determined by the Financial Aid Office and eligible aid recipients will receive an email notification from the University that their aid application has been processed. Please note that you must be accepted into your chosen degree program prior to being disbursed financial aid.
