Financial Aid

The Financial Aid Office connects you to the resources you need to help pay for college.

Understanding your financial aid options is an essential part of planning for college. Our financial aid advisors assist students and their families by explaining available resources and exploring strategies to help pay for college.

Our services include but are not limited to:

  • Assist with FAFSA or CASFA completion
  • Support with work-study and scholarship opportunities
  • Student loan counseling
  • Assistance with veteran education benefits
  • Answers to general financial aid and payment questions

To ensure the highest quality of service, our financial aid staff participate in ongoing professional training through the Colorado Community College System (CCCS), Federal Student Aid (FSA), the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA), and the Rocky Mountain Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (RMASFAA).

The most important thing that I see at Northeastern is that everybody is helpful. Sometimes I don't understand or I can't talk perfectly but everybody is trying to listen and understand me. Also it's hard to stay far away from family, but here I can feel more comfortable because everyone says, "Hello, how are you?", "How's it going?", to each other. That is perfect!

As a student, I have loved how much the teachers care about you. They want you to succeed in whatever you want to do and are always willing to help. It makes it much easier to cope with change and classes that aren't your strong suit.

I choose NJC for its affordability and its rather informal education style. Because it is a small college you have more one on one opportunities with your instructors.
