Visit the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office for assistance completing your 2025-2026 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) or Alternative Application for Illinois Financial Aid.  All students eligible for financial aid who plan to enroll next year should complete a new FAFSA or Alternative Application each year, as soon as possible, to be considered for the maximum amount of financial aid.

Bring your own laptop or use one of ours.  We're here to help!

Can't make it on Friday? We're available every weekday (excluding holidays and university closures).  We also offer virtual appointments.  Visit go.niu.edu/SFAS to schedule your appointment now!
