Step 2: Apply For Financial Aid

Fill out your Federal Financial Aid Packet (FAFSA) online. Be sure to print, sign, and mail the signature page at the end of the FAFSA application. Our school code is 003783. Tips on completing the FAFSA »

If you are a veteran, please contact our VA Coordinator at 425.889.5228 for information about military educational benefits.

After you have been approved for admission and the results of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASFA) and Northwest University Financial Aid Application have been received, the Financial Aid Services Office will determine the financial aid components for which you are eligible.

It is recommended that students complete all applications at least six weeks prior to the start of classes, though financial aid is still awarded after that date. However, it is awarded on a first come, first served basis, and late disbursements of aid may not occur if all documents are not received by the start date.

Once you have been awarded financial aid, the Financial Aid Services Office will mail you a packet of information. Included in this packet is an award letter that outlines the funds and amounts for which you are eligible. This package of financial aid may include gift aid (grants and scholarships) and self-help aid (loans and work study).

Submit all documents included in the packet and requested on the award letter. There will be two copies of the award letter. One copy is for you to keep; the second copy is for you to sign and return to the Financial Aid Services Office. You may decline any portion of your financial aid by crossing out the award and initializing next to it.

Make sure you carefully read your award letter as important information is relayed to you through it. Sometimes, additional information is required by the Financial Aid Services Office to continue processing your financial aid. These missing documents (such as copy of tax returns, Verification Worksheets, Loan Request Forms) are detailed on the award letter. Please be diligent in handing missing information.

Step 3: Send Your Transcripts

Order official academic transcripts from all your previous college(s) and have them sent directly to:

Graduate & Professional Studies Enrollment
Northwest University
P.O. Box 579
Kirkland, WA 98083-0579

Note: Northwest University requires official transcripts of all colleges and universities you have attended, regardless of academic status and/or degree/certificate/completion factors.

If you have served in the military please send us official transcripts as well as your DD-214 and AARTS/SMARTS.

Any questions about this step can also be directed to the GPS Enrollment Office at (Local) 425.889.7799 or (Toll-Free) 1.877.453.5327.

Step 4: Pay Confirmation Deposit

Once you are an accepted student, a $100 Confirmation Deposit needs to be paid by calling the Cashier at 425.889.5241 with a debit or credit card. This amount is applied to tuition (not a fee) and enables you to be scheduled for Academic Advising.

Step 5: Meet with an Advisor

After your $100 confirmation deposit is paid, you will be scheduled to meet with an academic advisor to review your transcript report.

Step 6: Register For Classes Online

Contact the College of Adult & Professional Studies Enrollment Office for instructions on how to complete registration online prior to Orientation night.

Step 7: Orientation

This session is extremely important. It allows both you and the University to become acquainted with each other. In addition to getting a “feel” for their educational surroundings, students meet with Financial Aid, Student Accounts, and the rest of the College of Adult & Professional Studies administrative team. ID photos are taken and parking passes are arranged. Contact your Enrollment Counselor for the date of Orientation.
