Yes. There are three basic types of financial aid available: grants (free money), work-study (money you earn) and student loans (money you pay back).

The FAFSA is available as early as October 1. The UNM FAFSA priority date is January 6, with a requirement to have all additional documentation submitted by January 31. Not meeting the priority date excludes you being considered for certain types of priority aid (work study, certain limited grants and loans). Submission after the priority date is allowed; however, you will only be considered for the Pell Grant (if eligible) and federal loan programs (if eligible).

Complete the FAFSA. The UNM school code is 002663.

Yes. However, this does not guarantee your financial aid eligibility. You must have a complete financial aid file, be making satisfactory academic progress and be enrolled in the correct number of credit hours in order for your financial aid awards to be disbursed.

Notification of financial aid awards will be sent to your UNM email; instructions to access LOBOWEB will be included in the email. If you have an incomplete financial aid file, an email will be sent to your UNM account notifying you of the incomplete file and include instructions on how to check unsatisfied requirements. Submit documents to our office online. Be sure to include your UNM ID on all forms.

All courses other than the RN to BSN Upper level (300-499) nursing courses are subject to main campus resident/non-resident tuition rates. This includes NURS 241.

If you are not enrolled at least part-time (6 credit hours) in the first session of the semester, your aid will not disburse until your second session course(s) begin. Federal regulations require half-time enrollment in order to be eligible for federal loans.

You will need to submit any missing documentation to the College of Nursing Financial Aid Office prior to being awarded. Any forms that can be submitted online will have a link on LoboWeb and will allow you to complete and submit the forms by signing in with your NetID and password. Please be sure to select "The College of Nursing" campus when submitting documents. You can fax your documents to 505-272-3970 or email them to Whitney Cockrill, Financial Aid Officer at WCockrill@salud.unm.edu.
