2025-2026 Financial Aid Video Playlist

NOVA’s 2025-2026 financial aid playlist has been updated.  

What’s in the playlist? In under 15 minutes, students can watch this playlist of seven short videos to learn about

• the types of financial aid,
• how to apply,
• how to check their status and
• available resources. 

Share it with students: This playlist is included in the New2NOVA virtual orientation and can be used to provide financial aid information to students in other settings as well.  Please feel free to share this playlist with students!

To be considered for the maximum amount of financial aid for fall 2025, including grants, loans and work-study awards, students should apply for financial aid by the May 1 priority application date. 

To apply for aid, students will need to complete the 2025-2026 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and submit any items that may be requested on their myNOVA Student Information System (SIS) To Do List. 

Please encourage students to contact the Financial Aid Office if they have any questions or need assistance.
