FAQ's
– We understand, you have specific questions about your college career. We have been talking with a lot of AI students and we wanted to supply this information so you know the best way to get started.
Can I get my Financial Aid worked out in time?
Yes! There is a financial aid process to better understand your needs. You can get started in one of two ways:
Have you already created an FAFSA ID and password? If so, we recommend updating the school code to Nossi’s code – 017347. That is the easiest and best way to get started.
If you haven’t created your ID and Password, do so here and add Nossi’s school code to your financial package.
Log into your FAFSA ID here
Need to create an account? Do so here.
Once Nossi College’s school code has been added to your account, your financial aid paperwork will be updated in the system and we can pull a more accurate overview of your account.
Help! I cannot find where to update my school code?
No problem! Our admissions team is happy to help. Please call 615-514-2787 and ask for Mitzi Hatfield or Roger Qualls. Our admissions team is available via phone from 9 – 6 PM Monday through Thursday or Friday from 9 – 4 PM. You can also reach them via email – Mhatfield at Nossi.edu or RQualls at Nossi.edu
What does the financial aid process look like?
If you need help setting up or updating your account, we will not be able to finalize your package that day. We can set up a follow up meeting with our financial team to finalize your package. This will take around 20 minutes to complete.
If you already have your account setup, we can see what you qualify for in grants, loans and possible scholarships. You can expect to spend about an hour to complete your financial aid package. Also, if you are a dependent student, we will need a parent or guardian to be part of this meeting as well.
I’ve been told AI will give me a $5,000 scholarship to attend Nossi. Is this true?
Nossi College has heard similar information from the local Art Institute campus in Nashville. We sent AI a transfer of credit and partnership agreement. However, at this time, no official agreement has been signed by AI’s corporate office. We will continue to provide an update to this question as soon as any new information is acquired from AI.
What do I need to bring with me?
Great question! We want to ensure you are as prepared as possible. Please bring in your transcript so we can see how your classes will transfer. We cannot move forward without your class transcript.
We also recommend you bring your driver’s license and any artwork you have created. This can range from paintings and pictures you have drawn to pictures and video on your phone. We want to better understand your creative process, and showing us your work is a great way to do that! Have questions about your art and what to bring, please call or email us! 615-514-2787
