Thank you for your question. After consulting with the Student Financial Aid office at NIU, I was informed that the answer is, “it depends.” The main factor appears to involve what your marital status was when you completed the FAFSA form, since this is what the university uses as part of its determination regarding your financial aid. There may be other factors involved as well, so it would be in your best interest to contact the Student Financial Aid Office at 753-1395, and let them assist you with your specific situation. Good luck, and take care.

Sincerely,

Barb Wired
