To apply for federal student aid, you need to complete the FAFSA or Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Completing and submitting the FAFSA is free and quick, and it gives you access to the largest source of financial aid to pay for college or career school.  You must complete the FAFSA for each academic year; be sure to include the NDSU School Code of 002997 so we get your information.  The priority funding deadline date for 2021-2022 is February 1, 2021.

If you're not sure where to start, view some video's and other help information. If you’re ready, fill out the FAFSA now!

This Financial Aid Guide will provide detailed information and guide you through the steps you need to complete for your aid to be processed and disbursed on time.

Based on the information you enter, the Net Price Calculator will return an estimate of typical expenses for a student like you to attend NDSU and an estimate of financial aid that you may be eligible to receive. The estimates will help you determine your "net cost" - your likely out-of-pocket expenses - to attend NDSU.

Do you need money for college? This publication provides basic information on federal student aid to help you pay for college or career school.

The Student Consumer Information regulations of the U.S. Department of Education require higher education institutions to provide students access to certain information to which they are entitled as consumers. It is NDSU's intention to provide complete and easy access to any information students need.
