How to Prepare:

Review who is considered the FAFSA contributor.
The FAFSA contributor should create an FSA ID 3–5 days prior to completing the FAFSA.
We strongly recommend you and your contributor(s) create an account on studentaid.gov before starting your FAFSA form.

We can help with:

Completing the FAFSA
Checking out State Aid
Applying for scholarships
One-on-one planning for financing your college journey — at NMC and beyond!
Student loan counseling

Make sure you have:

Records of child support received
Current balances of cash, savings, and checking accounts
Net worth of investments, businesses, and farms
Social security cards and driver's licenses
Digital or paper copy of your 2023 tax return*

*You'll be able to provide consent and approval to have most of your financial information imported directly from the IRS, but you should keep your tax returns handy for additional questions.

NOTE: If you are considered a dependent student for FAFSA purposes, you’ll need to provide information about your contributor(s) on the application. Learn more about reporting contributor information here.
