We are committed to educating you on how to support your student’s college experience. Whether it is inspiring them to take on a leadership position in a campus organization or sending a reminder of financial aid deadlines, studies show that parental involvement increases the chances that a college student will graduate and be successful.

Financial Aid

About 92 percent of our students receive financial assistance, and NJIT has awarded over $100 million in need-based, merit-based financial aid and student employment. In order to be eligible for aid the first step is filing the FAFSA.

NJIT FAFSA Code: 002621
