Financial Aid

Complete the Online Admissions Application.

Visit studentaid.gov to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You will need to create a FSA ID or use your existing FSA ID to complete the FAFSA online. If you are a dependent student, a parent needs a FSA ID too. (You can apply for your FSA ID on the FAFSA website during the FAFSA process).

Log in to OASIS by using the first initial of your first name and your full last name (example: jsmith). Your password will be the last four digits of your social security number and your birth date (month and day only) Example: 12340107. For log in problems, email techsupport@np.edu or call 501-760-4171.

Students are randomly selected for by the Department of Education for identity or income verification. If you have been selected for verification, you will need to fill out the independent or dependent verification form. Select the appropriate verification form to complete and return it to the Financial Aid Office located in the Student Commons.

Students may charge against their accepted financial aid to purchase books and/or supplies from the campus bookstore online or in person with identification. Note: Some funding sources do not allow for book purchases.

Submit the required forms and documentation by one of the following methods:

• Fax to (501) 760-4354
• Mail to NPC, Financial Aid, 101 College Drive, Hot Springs, AR 71913
• Submit forms and documentation in person.

Once all forms are submitted and processed, your financial aid such as PELL and loans will be awarded in OASIS. You will need to go to Accept/Decline awards.

In order to receive student loans, you will be required to accept your loan offers (Note: Pell Grants are automatically accepted). On the right of your OASIS screen, click on the NavBar symbol > select Navigator > click on Self-Service > Student Center > Accept/Decline awards > Year. You can then accept or decline the loan amounts.

In order for your loans to process, new students must complete the Entrance Counseling and Master Promissory Note by visiting studentaid.gov. Returning students will not be required to redo their Master Promissory Note and Entrance Counseling (it is good for 10 years). All students accepting loans should watch their "To Do List" for further instructions.
