How To Apply - FAFSA |
| |
|
| |
 |
The FAFSA (Free Application For Federal Student Aid): |
|
| |
|
The FAFSA is required in order to determine eligibility for federal, state, and institutional financial aid programs. It is available each year on January 1st for the upcoming school year.
The fastest and easiest way to file the FAFSA is online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
You should indicate Northeastern University, Title IV Institution Code Number 002199, Boston, MA, in the College Release and Certification section.
If you are filing the online FAFSA, you can sign the form electronically by using your federal PIN. Students who have not previously applied for a PIN are able to apply for a PIN within the FAFSA application. You also have an option to print out the “signature page” for the on-line FAFSA and mail it to the federal processor. |

TIPS FOR COMPLETING THE FAFSA: |
|
| |
|
- Dont' wait to be admitted before you file. Although we do not award financial aid to students until they have been admitted to Northeastern, the two processes are simultaneous. You should fill out all financial aid information even though you may not have received an admission decision.
- Read the instructions. At first glance, the FAFSA form can appear confusing and complicated. In actuality, the form is easy to fill out. The questions are straightforward, and the instructions make specific references to each question.
- Use estimated figures for the most recently completed tax year. If you are completing the FAFSA prior to the filing of your current federal tax return, you may use estimated figures. Review your W-2 and other tax documents; or if your current income was relatively the same as your prior year income, you can use those figures. You can easily update the information after you have had the opportunity to file your tax return. Do not wait until you have filed your current year taxes to file the FAFSA and risk missing the March 1st poriority filing deadline.
- Additional information and answers to frequently asked questions can be found on the FAFSA website.

The CSS/PROFILE application is required of all Undergraduate Day first-year students (freshmen and transfer) to determine eligibility for Institutional funds. It is available each year on October 1st for the upcoming academic year. Students whose natural parents are not married to each other will also be required to complete a Non-custodial Parent Profile Application. If a student is unable to contact the non-custodial parent, a Non-Custodial PROFILE Waiver Form must be submitted.
You should indicate Northeastern University, CSS code number 3667, as a recipient of your information on the PROFILE registration form. There is a fee for processing this form.
