WE’RE HERE EVERY STEP OF YOUR JOURNEY

Financial aid is always available to your family – whether you’re a new or a continuing student. Our knowledgable financial aid counselors are here to help you navigate the financial aid application process. And if you have any questions- just ask us. We’re here to help.

Assistance is available in the form of grants, scholarships, loans and employment opportunities. Regardless of income, residence or academic credentials, students should apply for financial aid. Some students who believe they are ineligible for assistance learn that they are eligible.

The new FAFSA is COMING:

Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year. The FAFSA can be completed online at www.studentaid.gov. The award year at Nicholls is fall, spring, and summer. Make sure you list Nicholls when completing your FAFSA.

Due to the FAFSA Simplification Act, the 2024-2025 FAFSA will be delayed until December 2023. This major overhaul is meant to streamline the process.

However, the 2023-24 FAFSA may be completed NOW at www.studentaid.gov!
