FAFSA

Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is the most important document you will need when seeking federal student aid. A current FAFSA must be on file at the Office of Financial Aid for any type of federal or state student aid including work-study and loans.

This is a free application and it is based on financial need. You must mail your FASFA to the federal processor or file online.

To be considered for financial aid at NMJC, you must list New Mexico Junior College as a school of interest. NMJC’s school code is 002655.

Once we receive your FAFSA from the federal processor, your application will be evaluated, and we will give you an award offer.
