Chicago Financial Aid

Your main source for financial aid questions

The Department of Education has made several updates to aid eligibility. Visit the One Big Beautiful Bill Act FAQ for current students, prospective students, and alumni in repayment.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate these sweeping federal updates as quickly and efficiently as possible. When your financial aid is ready for review, you will receive an email sent to your northwestern account. In the meantime, please continue to monitor your Financial Aid To Do List in CAESAR for any updates.
