Federal Financial Aid
In order to be considered for federal grants and scholarships, your first step is
to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Before doing that, you should know about all of the types of aid and what’s required from you when applying.
Grants are awards you don’t pay back. Apply for a grant through the federal government
or the state of Tennessee through the FAFSA.
Loans are funds you repay after leaving college. They feature low-interest rates and
offer payment deferment options if you have issues making payments. Be sure to complete
the NSCC Financial Aid Form to apply for these.
Work-study programs allow you to work and earn money to pay for your education as
you go through the college process. Your paycheck will be made out to you and you can decide how to apply it.
