Scholarships, Grants, Financial Aid for Military-Affiliated Students

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the first step in the financial aid process. Even if you do not anticipate using financial aid, keep in mind that several grants and scholarships require the results of the FAFSA to determine eligibility.

Students using VA education benefits (Chapter 30, 31, 33, 35 or 1606) can also receive financial aid, if approved.

For online bachelor’s degree students, both subsidized and unsubsidized loans are available. Graduate degree students can receive unsubsidized loans.

Norwich University's FAFSA code is 003692.
