Financial Aid

Nevada State College has several types of financial assistance available to students. All prospective students are encouraged to complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and NSC Scholarship and Grant-in-aid application by March 1. Students who complete their application by the priority file date have a better opportunity of receiving a more advantageous award package. Students must apply for financial aid each year by the designated file dates. The following types of financial assistance are awarded to students based on their financial need and ability to pay for college. Some types of assistance are grants that do not require repayment and other types of assistance, such as loans, require students to repay the aid once they graduate, withdraw from courses, or drop below halftime (six credits).
