The Financial Aid Office updates PNWU.edu with resources on funding, scholarships, cost of attendance, and other information. Email notices will be sent with time-sensitive information or announcements.

Award Notices
Each year the student must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at fafsa.gov. The information is used to determine the student’s eligibility for federal student loans. Once eligibility is determined, the award can be viewed through the Self-Service portal. To accept, reduce, or decline loans, the student must navigate to the student financial aid portal on the PNWU website.
Review the award notice information and accept, reduce, or decline the award. Any aid source (scholarships, grants, etc.) not listed on the award notice must be reported to Financial Aid.

Disbursement
Financial aid has a different timeline than the academic calendar for disbursements. Before the beginning of each term, the Financial Aid Office needs to know students are enrolled and attending on the first day of the term. If a student is not in attendance at the beginning of the term or no clinical experience/rotation is scheduled, the disbursement date of their student loan(s) will be delayed until they begin attendance.
Learn more on the Disbursements webpage of PNWU.edu
Budget Revisions
A student’s federal financial aid eligibility is limited to an estimated cost of attendance in their academic program. If a student’s actual cost of attendance exceeds the estimate, a request for a budget adjustment may be submitted. Documentation of the actual expenses must be included with the request. Budget questions or concerns may be discussed with financial aid staff for details on assistance available.

Military Reimbursement
Students eligible for military reimbursement of allowed expenses may submit the reimbursement form and receipts or documentation of the expense to Enrollment Services by emailing finaid@pnwu.edu.
Veterans
If you have served in one or more branches of the US military, you may be eligible for education benefits provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Students wanting to use veterans’ benefits must provide documentation of their eligibility to Financial Aid. This may be submitted in person at Iron Horse Lodge, Suite 101 or emailed to finaid@pnwu.edu.
Each term the student wants to receive benefits, an email must be sent to finaid@pnwu.edu authorizing the certification of enrollment and tuition costs.
If you are not sure if you are eligible or want to learn more, visit Veterans webpages of PNWU.edu.
