Apply for admission for the upcoming school year. If you have
taken the ACT, send your scores along with your application for
admission to the Registrar’s Office. If you have not, prepare for
and take the ACT this fall. Look into what NWCC scholarships
you are eligible for, as well as search online for scholarships from
outside sources.
January 1 is the first day to apply for the FAFSA online. Do not
sign or submit the form before this date! Apply for your PIN, print
out and complete the Pre-Application worksheet from the Web
site (www.studentaid.gov), and gather all of the forms necessary
to complete the FAFSA form. If you are a Mississippi resident,
January 1 is also the first date to apply for MTAG and MESG. Also,
take this time to get a head start on applying for scholarships and
grants, whose deadlines are coming in early spring.
The time of deadlines has arrived! If you are a Mississippi resident,
apply for the HELP grant by March 31. Deadlines for scholarships
and early deadlines for FAFSA submission are coming up in April,
so complete application forms and start submitting!
Deadlines!

Make sure that the Registrar’s Office has all necessary documents
such as your application for admission, official transcripts with
final grades from your high school and all colleges/universities
attended. Check the progress of your financial aid on the FAFSA
Web site.
Attend a Summer Orientation session to complete any necessary
forms, attend information sessions, finalize financial aid, meet
with your adviser, register for classes, and take care of any other
necessities for the upcoming school year.
