New Students
The financial aid process may feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t need to be.
Take the process step by step and, before you know it, you’ll be finished.
Apply for Financial Aid
We encourage all students to apply for aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The FAFSA provides the foundation for opportunities for multiple types of state, federal and institutional funding while attending college.
We encourage you to apply for aid using the guidelines below:
- Beginning Jan. 1, you can file the following year’s FAFSA using UND’s federal code 003005. If you haven't applied, please complete your FAFSA as soon as possible.
- View awards on Campus Connection. New freshmen will be notified of awards beginning in April or approximately two weeks after UND receives FAFSA information.
- Accept or decline your financial aid awards at least 30 days before the semester begins. Please note, your financial aid award is based on full-time attendance for the academic year (fall and spring semesters).
- If this is the first time you’ve taken out a loan, please complete the following federal requirements before your aid disbursement: Master Promissory Note and Entrance Loan Counseling.
- Apply for UND scholarships from Oct.1 through Feb. 1 for the following academic year.
-
Due to the federal delay in FAFSA processing, the Scholarship Central deadline for incoming students was extended to March 1 for the 2024-25 academic year.
