NSU financial aid options?

Okay, so I'm seriously considering Nova Southeastern University (NSU), but the cost is a big concern for me. I'm hoping someone here could tell me what kind of financial aid options are available there and how I'd go about applying for them.

Nova Southeastern University (NSU) offers a variety of financial aid options to support its students, which range from scholarships, grants, loans, to work-study programs.

An important first step is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which NSU - like most colleges and universities - uses to determine your eligibility for aid. You can submit your 2024-2025 FAFSA as soon as July 1 for the upcoming academic year. Be sure to include NSU's school code (001509) on your application to ensure your FAFSA data is sent to them.

NSU offers several institutional scholarships based on academic achievement and other criteria. These include the President’s Scholarship, the Dean’s Scholarship, as well as athletic scholarships, among others.

In terms of grants, you could potentially qualify for state-of-Florida grants. These grants are for in-state full-time undergraduate students who demonstrate considerable financial need.

The university also participates in the Federal Work-Study Program. This program provides part-time jobs for undergraduate students with financial need, allowing them to earn money to help pay educational expenses.

Finally, loans - Federal Direct Loans and private loans - are also an option. But remember, loans have to be paid back, usually with interest. So you would want to exhaust your grant and scholarship opportunities first.

It's important to note that the specific amount and type of aid you may be eligible for will depend on a variety of factors including your family's financial situation, your academic record, and more. Make sure to reach out to the NSU financial aid office for more personalized information. Their financial aid counselors can help guide you through the process and make sure you understand all your options. This way, you can make an informed decision about which financial aid options might be best for you.
