FAFSA Day workshop
Northwest will host a FAFSA Day workshop for current Northwest students, high school students in the region who plan to attend Northwest and other high school students who want assistance completing the FAFSA, regardless of the college they plan to attend.
Personnel from Northwest’s financial aid office will be on hand to answer questions and assist students and families with completing the FAFSA.
Additionally, two scholarships will be awarded from a drawing of attendees.
Attendees should bring:
- StudentAid.gov Account Login (student and contributor(s))
- Social Security Numbers (or Alien Registration Number) for student and contributor(s)
- 2023 tax returns
- Record of assets including any child support received; current balances of cash, savings and checking accounts; and net worth of investments, businesses and farms
- List of schools you’re applying to or current school’s name
- Northwest students should bring their University-issued laptop with them; laptops will be available to workshop attendees not enrolled at Northwest.
Filing a FAFSA is often the first step students must take to apply for financial aid for college. It is the primary form used by federal, state and institutional financial assistance programs in determining an individual’s eligibility for grants, loans, work-study and scholarships.
For individuals applying for enrollment at Northwest, the FAFSA removes other barriers students and their families may encounter when they are required to complete additional applications. It helps determine a student’s eligibility for financial assistance and scholarship opportunities such as the Northwest Promise, which covers 100 percent of tuition and fees for eligible students.
The 2025-26 FAFSA is available now and the Access Missouri Priority deadline to submit it is Monday, Feb. 3.
