Information for Advisors

Financing a student's education doesn't end with the students freshmen year.  Whether they are attending returning to NJC or transferring to a four-year institution, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as well as scholarship applications each year during their college education. 

The following is a checklist for you to give to your adivsees to help them with financial aid deadlines.

  • If needed, apply for your Personal Identification Number (PIN).  Your PIN allows you to complete your FAFSA online, as well as, making corrections and checking the status of your application.
  • Begin completing scholarship applications.  Watch for deadlines, most applications are due by March 1 each year.
  • Have you and/or your parents' Federal Taxes completed as soon as possible.
  • Begin completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as early as January 1.
  • Complete your FAFSA before March 1.  Funding for certain programs (work study and grants) is limited and awarded on a first come first served basis.

If students have questions, or would like assistance with their applications have them visit with the Financial Aid Office.  We are here to help!
