Our Commitment to Your Process

Going to college requires hard work and may require financial sacrifice, but it can be well worth the investment. Contact our Financial Aid Department to help you understand and work through the financial aid process.

Financial Aid

Financial Aid is available for those who qualify. Many of NCAD’s students receive financial assistance from one source or another. To see if you qualify for financial aid, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Complete your FAFSA at: FAFSA.gov. It is the responsibility of the student to complete all forms correctly and in a timely manner. Information will be sent upon the student’s acceptance. Allow at least two months for financial aid to be processed. Errors, omissions, and corrections will cause delays. “Click Here” For helpful information on FAFSA submission.

The NCAD Federal school code is 026021.
Please call (253) 272-1126 or email our Financial Aid Department for assistance or additional information.
