FAFSA Information
FAFSA
Free Application for Federal Student Aid
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is the most important document you will need when seeking federal student aid. A current FAFSA must be on file with the Office of Financial Aid for any type of federal or state student aid including work-study and loans.
This is a free application and it is based on financial need. You can file your FAFSA online at www.studentaid.gov.
To be considered for financial aid at NMJC, you must list New Mexico Junior College as a school of interest. NMJC’s school code is 002655.
Once your FAFSA is received at NMJC from the federal processor, your application will be evaluated and your eligibility for federal, state, and institutional aid will be determined. Additional documents may be required to complete your application. You may track what documents are needed through your NMJC T-BirdWeb Portal. You can also view your financial aid offers in your T-BridWeb Portal.
