Last year, 8,101 undergraduate students at Northern Illinois University received need-based financial aid in the form of state, federal and institutional grants.
However, hundreds of thousands of eligible Illinois college students missed out on state financial aid by not completing the required Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) soon enough.
The U.S. Department of Education began accepting FAFSA forms Jan. 1 for the 2012-13 school year. For this new year, the NIU Office of Student Financial Aid recommends getting an early start on the college financial aid process with early FAFSA completion. NIU’s priority 2012-2013 FAFSA application date is Thursday, March 1.
