• Schedule an appointment to meet with WOU’s NSE Coordinator and discuss how NSE fits into your goals and plans.
• Visit the NSE website, nse.org, to gather more information about the program or participating schools.
• Review your financial resources. The NSE Budget Worksheet form can help you plan a budget. We encourage you to meet with a financial aid advisor prior to applying, to learn more about how your financial aid may assist you.
• Fill out the NSE application; be sure you have already met with WOU’s NSE Coordinator.
• Turn in completed online application (form and essay) and $200 non-refundable application fee by the application deadline.
• Start your FAFSA application in October for next academic year if you anticipate paying your host school’s tuition and fees (NSE Tuition Hose Payment) and you plan on using Financial Aid, list all university placement choices and Western Oregon University (WOU Federal School Code 003209) on your FAFSA application (FAFSA codes are listed at nse.org on each member university’s page).
