Welcome to the Financial Aid Services site! We are here to assist you through the often confusing financial aid process. Look around, and feel free to contact us or stop by one of our offices if you have questions or concerns about your financial aid.
Northwest University will be transitioning from the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP), and will be participating in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (DL) Program for Stafford and PLUS Loans.
Students and parents will borrow directly from the U.S. Department of Education instead of through the private banks and lenders who participated in the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP). All terms and conditions to repay loans remain the same.
A Direct Loan (DL) Master Promissory Note (MPN) will be required for all new DL Stafford and PLUS borrowers. (A Direct Loan MPN will need to be completed, even if a FFELP MPN for a loan is on file.)
Parent PLUS Loan borrowers are also required to complete a parent PLUS Authorization form. This is scheduled to be available by April 1st via the Direct Loan website.
Entrance Counseling is required for first time Stafford and Grad PLUS borrowers.
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.
