Purpose
The purpose of Norfolk State University's financial aid program is to provide assistance to qualified students who, without such aid, would be unable to attend the University. Aid is awarded based upon a student’s need as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Results received by completing the FAFSA provides earned resources and expected family contribution.

Loans
Scholarships and grants may not cover all educational expenses. Students may consider a student loan to cover any remaining financial need. Student loans, unlike grants and scholarships, must be repaid with interest. Students should be prudent in deciding the amount of money to borrow and carefully consider repayment amounts and options.

SAP
The Financial Aid Office carefully monitors the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) of all students in degree-seeking programs of study who are awarded federal Title IV, state and institutional aid. Consult with a Financial Aid Counselor prior to dropping a course or courses and/or withdrawing from the University (officially or unofficially).
