Financial Aid

Introduction

NCU's PSP financial aid program is available to assist degree-seeking students with the financial resources necessary to complete their education through a combination of grants and student loans.  There are a variety of options for you to consider.  PSP students may be eligible for the Federal Pell Grant, the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), the Oregon Opportunity Grant, Federal Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford Loan Funds.  Eligibility is determined for all federal and state aid programs by completing the Free application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Here are some examples of how a financial aid offer may look:

• Grant Eligible Example Offer
• Subsidized Stafford Loan Example Offer
• Unsubsidized Stafford Loan Example Offer

We invite you to begin your educational investment at Northwest Christian University and contact James Hadley, NCU's PSP Financial Aid Specialist.
