FINANCIAL AID
Location: Lee Hall 104 Phone: 769-3368
Financial Aid can help you afford the cost of an NIC education. Approximately 60 percent of students
enrolled in six or more credits at NIC receive some type of financial aid.
If you think you need help to pay for your college costs, apply for financial aid by filling out the Free
Application for Federal Student Air (FAFSA) at
. The Pell Grant and the Stafford
Loan, are available all year, even if you miss the preferred March 1
5
financial aid application deadline.
Eligibility for most Federal financial aid is based on financial need. Financial need represents the
difference between the total cost of education, which includes tuition, fees, books, supplies and/or
tools, allowances for living expenses, transportation, and, the amount the student and family can
afford to pay toward those costs. We determine the amount you and your family can afford to pay by
using a need analysis formula established by the federal government which takes into consideration
family size and number in college, as well as income and assets. There is NO income cut off for
financial aid.
Financial aid awards come in four different forms. There are grants, loans, scholarships and student
employment programs. Funding for financial aid comes from four sources - the federal government,
the state government, private scholarships, and North Idaho College funds. The financial aid website
contains more detailed information about the specific types of financial aid, eligibility requirements,
and application procedures. The staff is available during regular office hours to assist with questions.
Additionally, you can email the office with questions at
