The Financial Aid team is here to help guide you and your family through the financial aid process and to assist you in understanding the funding for which you may be eligible. Nichols College offers both need- and merit-based aid to help lower the cost of your education. If you have any questions, please contact our office at 508-213-2288 or SFS@nichols.edu and a team member will happily assist you.

We use the FAFSA information to determine your eligibility for federal, state and institutional need-based financial aid. You can file your FAFSA after October 1st. Our priority deadline for filing the FAFSA is March 1st. Each state has a FAFSA filing deadline. It is important to meet the March 1st filing deadline since filing your FAFSA late can affect the amount of financial aid you will receive. Late applicants may miss opportunities for state or other sources of aid.

Log on to https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa with your FSA ID. Each year the FAFSA is available starting October 1st. You can complete your FAFSA using your prior-prior year's tax information. For example, if you are applying for financial aid for the 2023-2024 academic year you would complete the FAFSA with 2021 tax information.
