Financial Aid

We are here to help every step of the way

Your education is one of the most important investments you'll ever make. But you may have real questions about how you can afford it.

Our Office of Student Financial Aid Services understands that your financial aid represents an investment in your future. We are committed to helping you determine the best way to pay for your MNU education. We will work hard to help you maximize your financial aid options.

Apply for Financial Aid

In order to maximize your financial aid opportunities and find out what type of award you qualify for, keep these steps in mind:

1. APPLY FOR ADMISSION TO MNU
   You'll want to complete your MNU Application for Admission as soon as possible. Both federal and state financial assistance require that you be accepted at MNU before we can finalize your financial aid. 
    
2. FILL OUT THE FAFSA
   For students entering MNU during the 2018-19 school year, the 2018-19 FAFSA can be submitted as early as October 1, 2017. Complete your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) any time after October 1, 2017 at www.fafsa.ed.gov, and be sure to include MNU with our school code: 007032.
   • FSA ID: An FSA ID is a username and password that you must use to log in to certain U.S. Department of Education websites, including FAFSA. Your FSA ID identifies you as someone who has the right to access your own personal information. Please note: Each FSA ID user must have a unique email address. Your FSA ID is used to sign legally binding documents electronically. It has the same legal status as a written signature. To generate your username and password, please visit the FSA ID website now.
      
3. YOU’LL USE EARLIER INFO
   The FAFSA application is filed with income and tax information from an earlier tax year. This prior-prior year initiative allows you to receive financial aid eligibility information earlier. You won’t need to estimate your tax information and then go back into the FAFSA later to update it. The 2018-19 FAFSA will collect information from 2016, which has already been submitted to the Internal Revenue System (IRS). You may download income information from the IRS directly into the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Use MNU's school code: 007032
