We are Student Financial Planning

The financial aid process can seem overwhelming and time consuming but the importance of understanding and completing the process cannot be over emphasized. Our job is to guide you through the process and hopefully make it as painless as possible. That is why we refer to our office as Student Financial Planning. We are here to help you!

The First Step

Educate yourself! Familiarize yourself with the different financial aid forms and deadlines used by each of the colleges where your son or daughter is applying.

Affordability

Most families assume they cannot afford a private college education for their son or daughter and fall victim to “sticker shock.” The fact is a Norwich education is often as affordable as your local state college. Last year, 95 percent of our students with an average family income of $90,269, shared in more than $51 million of financial aid from all sources. This included an aggressive need-based financial aid program that enables deserving students to secure a private education at Norwich.

Those Dreaded Forms

At Norwich, you will initially have to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).

The FAFSA allows Norwich to determine your family’s eligibility for Federal grants and loans.

This form may be completed online:

• FAFSA

The FAFSA requires you to enter a school code. Our school code is:

• FAFSA: 003692

ROTC Scholarships

If your son or daughter applies for an ROTC scholarship, you should still complete the FAFSA. What if they are not selected?

All awards from the various military branches must be included in calculating a student’s eligibility for Federal aid. This includes the ROTC monthly stipened. A student will receive the amount of room and board as a grant or scholarship from Norwich less any applicable Federal or State aid.

Deadlines and Important Dates

the FAFSA should be completed no later than March 1 of your son or daughter’s senior year in high school to be competitive for financial aid.
