On a case-by-case basis, you may be asked to provide documentation from your parent(s) or other individuals not listed on the FAFSA to help us determine your eligibility for institutional need-based funds.

Determining Financial Aid

Financial aid programs were established on the premise that the primary responsibility for paying educational expenses rests with you and your family. Those who lack the necessary resources to pay these educational expenses are encouraged to apply for financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This information is used to determine your financial aid eligibility.

The following formula is used to determine whether you are eligible for need-based financial aid:
成本 of Attendance – Expected Family Contribution = Financial Need

Our office establishes student expense budgets that are used to calculate financial aid eligibility and to provide you and your family with a reasonable estimate of your cost of attendance at Northwest Missouri State University. These budgets include allowances for tuition and fees, 住房和食物, books and supplies, 运输, and personal and miscellaneous expenses. They are based on what is considered reasonable but modest costs after surveying segments of our student population.

The difference between the cost of attendance and the expected family contribution is considered a financial need. Our office will assist you and your family in trying to meet your financial need by offering a combination of grants, 奖学金, 贷款, 和就业 opportunities. If you have no financial need, you are still eligible to be considered for non-need-based 奖学金, 贷款, 和就业.
