What types of financial aid?

Financial aid status check

Check your FAFSA Status

You may check the federal processor's status of your FAFSA at any time, but it is recommended you at least check and make any necessary corrections:

  • 1 week after submission- if you used a PIN to sign your application.
  • 2-3 weeks after submission - if you printed, signed and mailed a signature page.

 

Check your NHCC Financial Aid Status

After NHCC receives your complete FAFSA from the federal processor, we will contact you via email if additional information is needed. Most students need to provide additional information to determine their aid eligibility.  Examples of additional information include: federal tax returns, college transcripts or residency information.  All requested information must be provided before your award will be processed.

  • Status/missing information letters are typically viewable online 5 business days after your complete FAFSA is received at the college.
  • If no additional information is needed, your award letter will typically be available to view online 5 business days after your FAFSA is received at the college.
  • If additional information is needed by the college, your award will be available to view approximately 10 business days after you provide the requested information.  During peak processing months (July, August, September, December and January) award letter processing time increases to a minimum of 20 business days.

 

Instructions for checking your NHCC financial aid status:

1. Login on your eservices account using your Student ID and PIN.

2. Select Financial Aid. 

  • To view requests for missing information, select 'Financial Aid Status'. 
  • To view your award, select 'Award Letter'.
  • To view the status of a loan request, select 'Awards'.  If the loan request/change form has been processed, the loan status will be 'certified'. (To receive a loan you must also have completed a promissory note and entrance interview.)
  • To view your account balance or to check if your aid has disbursed, select the 'Bills and Payment" link.  Financial aid will not appear on your student account until after your aid disburses.
