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.
