Financial Aid

The Financial Aid Office connects you to the resources you need to help pay for college.

Understanding your financial aid options is an essential part of planning for college. Our financial aid advisors assist students and their families by explaining available resources and exploring strategies to help pay for college.

Our services include but are not limited to:

  • Assist with FAFSA or CASFA completion
  • Support with work-study and scholarship opportunities
  • Student loan counseling
  • Assistance with veteran education benefits
  • Answers to general financial aid and payment questions

To ensure the highest quality of service, our financial aid staff participate in ongoing professional training through the Colorado Community College System (CCCS), Federal Student Aid (FSA), the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA), and the Rocky Mountain Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (RMASFAA).

What I like best about Northeastern are the very friendly and supportive people that study and work there. As a soccer player, we also have a very bonded team and I really like the combination of competitiveness and help that we offer each other. For students that think about coming to Northeastern you can expect all of these things. Speaking as an international student, you will have an amazing experience here and one you won't regret!

It just sounded like it would be a great fit for the path I chose.

I choose NJC for its affordability and its rather informal education style. Because it is a small college you have more one on one opportunities with your instructors.
