At Nichols College, we are committed to providing you with the most resources for financing a Nichols College education. We require only one financial aid form, The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, better known as the FAFSA. Nichols College does not require the CSS Profile. We use the FAFSA information to determine your eligibility for federal, state and institutional need-based financial aid. You can file your FAFSA after January 1st. Our priority deadline for filing the FAFSA is March 1st. Each state has a FAFSA filing deadline. It is important to meet the March 1st filing deadline since filing your FAFSA late can affect the amount of financial aid you will receive. Late applicants may miss opportunities for state or other sources of aid.
