Free Application for Federal Student Aid

To be eligible for financial assistance, students must apply for admission to NJC.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) starts the process for the majority of our programs offered. We have a priority deadline date of March 1st, but students are eligible for aid by submitting the FAFSA throughout the year.

Visit the FAFSA website to start your application. NJC School Code: 001361
