2010 State Support of Higher Education Students

Northwest University is required to provide students with information on the estimated amount the state is contributing to the support of their education: The estimated amount of state supported financial aid by student FTE (Full Time Equivalent) at Northwest University is $1,155.  This amount was derived by dividing the total projected financial aid for the 2010-2011 academic year by the estimated number of full-time equivalent students, to arrive at the approximate amount of state supported financial aid per enrolled student FTE.  (The estimated 2011 state supported financial aid by institution includes both need based and non-need based assistance).

Our Mission

The Financial Aid Services Office will strive to provide efficient and timely processing of student records in regards to awarding student equitable financial aid packages, as well as honoring the confidentiality of our students.  It is our goal to provide prompt, efficient, accurate, friendly, and professional service to everyone we assist.
