2025-2026 FAFSA Processing

  • At NMC, the 2025-26 FAFSA is used to determine financial aid eligibility for fall 2025 through summer 2026.
  • Schools are now receiving FAFSA results approximately 1-3 business days after the FAFSA or correction was submitted.  

All “contributors” will need to participate.

A contributor refers to anyone required to provide information on the FAFSA (such as parents/stepparent or a student’s spouse). Each contributor must have their own studentaid.gov account.

Being a contributor does not mean they are financially responsible for the student’s education costs, but it does mean the contributor must provide information on the FAFSA or the application will be incomplete, and the student will not be eligible for federal student aid.

Most applicants are required to use the IRS Direct Data Exchange.

Students and their contributors must provide consent for the Department of Education to receive income tax information or confirmation on non-filing status directly from the IRS.

Students must report the income of the parent who provides the most support.

Dependent students of divorced or separated parents need to report the income of the parent who provides the most financial support.
