The purpose of the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid (OSSA) is to assist in the recruitment and retention of students by providing financial resource information and access to funding. The student must complete the FAFSA on January 1st of each year. Parents can use the final check stub, received last month of the previous year to record wages earned from work.

Financial aid is available in the form of scholarships, grants, loans and work study. Most Federal and State funded financial aid programs are awarded on the basis of proven financial need.

The OSSA ensures that funds are awarded in a consistent and equitable manner. The student must reapply each academic year for financial aid. Applicants should make sure the correct award year is selected and NCCU’s school code of 002950 is listed.

Tips from Scholarships and Student Aid:

• Apply Early, January 1st

• Complete Loan Requirements — Loan Entrance Counseling, Master Promissory Note, etc.
• Ask Your Student to View Status on their myEOL account
