Financial Aid

Update for 2024-25: We will plan to have a FAFSA Night sometime in January or early February. More information will follow!

FAFSA Night will be held on _________________, from _____ pm in the North Woods School Library. The process takes about an hour, so please plan accordingly. The Financial Aid Director from Minnesota North College will be on hand to help parents and students complete the FAFSA. Information about the FAFSA and many pamphlets will be handed out to students and their parents.

This is a great opportunity to learn about financial aid and to get questions answered!

What is Financial Aid?

Financial aid comes in three basic forms:

        *Grants or scholarships: awards that you do not have to repay

        *Loans: borrowed funds that must be repaid with interest

        *Work study: money earned through on- or off- campus employment while attending college

Your eligibility for various types of aid is determined by the cost of attendance and your financial needs.

*Everyone should submit the FAFSA regardless of income.
*It is free to fill out the FAFSA, so never pay any money to do so! Make sure you go to the correct website.
