The Financial Aid office exists to financially enable students to pursue their educational goals and objectives. Every ethical effort is made to assist all eligible students to the extent funding will permit.
Colorado Northwestern Community College offers a variety of financial assistance programs for both full-time and part-time students. These programs include Grants, Work-Study, Scholarships, and Loans with approximately 75% of our students receiving some form of assistance. Although CNCC has an open application policy and will accept applications throughout the year, students submitting their files by the priority deadline date of May 1st are given first consideration. Financial aid is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis after May 1st.
Our office is located in the Johnson Building Student Services Center and is open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday-Friday.

| □ Apply for Admission to CNCC – |
 |
□ Complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
- If you do not already have your personal identification number (PIN) apply for your PIN at www.pin.ed.gov to be able to sign your FAFSA electronically. If you are a dependent student your parent must also apply for a PIN.
- Submit the FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
- Federal School Code for CNCC is 001359
FAFSA Tips: If possible, complete required tax forms before completing the FAFSA; read all instructions; complete the FAFSA worksheet.
- Within 1 week of submitting your FAFSA you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) in your email. Review the information for accuracy.
- If your SAR states that you have been selected for “federal verification”, the Financial Aid office will notify you of what documents are needed. In most cases copies of your tax filings for the previous tax year will be needed as well as a completed copy of the Federal Verification Worksheet (this will be provided by the Financial Aid office).
□ CNCC Scholarship Application (Including essay and high school transcript).
□ Await notification from the Financial Aid office.
- The FAFSA processor will send us your information electronically. We will review your FAFSA data, and if necessary, request additional documentation to verify your information.
- Once we have received and evaluated all documentation, we will notify you of your financial aid award by sending you an award letter. This will include information on how to apply for student loans if you have indicated through your FAFSA that you are interested in them.
□ Although not financial aid, all Colorado Residents should be sure that they have registered with the College Opportunity Fund to use their tuition assistance stipend.
