Financial Aid
We're dedicated to helping you finance your education.
UND students receive an average of $13,500 annually in financial aid assistance. Let us help you understand your options and determine the next steps to get help paying for college.
Eligibility
The only way to know if you're eligible to receive financial aid — and the amount you may receive — is by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). To receive financial aid, you must be a fully admitted degree-seeking student enrolled in eligible programs and courses.

Frequently Asked Questions
By completing the FAFSA, you can make sure you’re taking advantage of the best student loan and grant options. Even if you don’t qualify for grants, all eligible students qualify for Federal Direct Loans, which have low-interest rates.
Information from the FAFSA is also used by UND when awarding scholarships and other aid.
- The “Estimate of Direct Costs” is the combined total for the fall and spring semesters.
- “Total Aid Offered” includes all of the financial aid you’re eligible to receive for the academic year.
Yes. The University reserves the right to adjust your award based on additional information that may become available, including but not limited to: verification of your FAFSA information, tuition assistance, waivers, scholarships, grants and changes in enrollment status (e.g., changing from full-time to part-time status).
Keep in mind that students who officially withdraw from UND or stop attending classes within the semester are subject to having their financial aid reviewed and possibly returned to the U.S. Department of Education.
If a family member or other outside party helps with your finances, you can set them up as an authorized payer. This will allow them to view your monthly e-bill as well as make online payments and deposits on your behalf.
To setup an authorized payer:
- Log in to Campus Connection.
- Click the “Financial Account” tile.
- Select “Pay Online Now.”
- Select “University of North Dakota.”
- Select “Authorize Payers.”
- Select “Add New.”
- Enter the authorized payer information.
Authorized payers receive monthly e-bill notifications at the beginning of each month.
Your budget will be evaluated after you’ve registered for a flight course. If changes to your financial aid are made, you’ll receive an email notification to your UND email account. Most aviation students will need to seek private student loans or Federal Direct Parent Plus loans to help pay for additional costs.
